Dell iDRAC8 manual Using iDRAC Service Module From iDRAC Web Interface

Co-existence of OpenManage Server Administrator and iDRAC Service Module

In a system, both OpenManage Server Administrator and the iDRAC Service Module can co-exist and continue to function correctly and independently.

If you have enabled the monitoring features during the iDRAC Service Module installation, then after the installation is complete if the iDRAC Service Module detects the presence of OpenManage Server Administrator, it disables the set of monitoring features that overlap. If OpenManage Server Administrator is running, the iDRAC Service Module disables the overlapping monitoring features after logging to the OS and iDRAC.

When you re-enable these monitoring features through the iDRAC interfaces at a later time, the same checks are performed and the features are enabled depending on whether OpenManage Server Administrator is running or not.
