iDRAC License Compliance

When you select the iDRAC License Compliance page, it runs a compliance test. This test lasts for a few minutes. The vSphere hosts and bare metal servers listed on this page are non-compliant because they do not have a compatible iDRAC license. The table displays the status of the iDRAC license. On this page you can see how many days remain on your license and update it as required. If your Run inventory job link is disabled, that means there are no vSphere hosts that are non-compliant due to the iDRAC license. If the Recheck Bare Metal Server Compliance link is disabled, that means there are no bare metal servers that are non-compliant due to the iDRAC license.

1.In Dell Management Center, in the left pane, click Compliance.

2.Expand Compliance, and click iDRAC License.

Once you arrive to this page the compliance test runs. This is the same test that runs when you click Refresh.

3.If your license is out of date, click Purchase/Renew iDRAC License.

4.Log into the Dell License Management page and update or purchase a new iDRAC license. Use the information on this page to identify and update your iDRAC.

5.After you install an iDRAC license, run an inventory job for vSphere hosts and return to this page after the inventory job completes. For bare metal servers, recheck licensed bare metal server compliance.
