Notes
Note
This module requires ‘Administrator’ privilege for idrac_user.
Run this module from a system that has direct access to Dell iDRAC.
This module supports
check_mode.To import Server Configuration Profile (SCP) on the iDRAC8-based servers, the servers must have iDRAC Enterprise license or later.
For
importoperation,check_modeis supported only when target isALL.This module supports IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
