Hey guys,
We are trying to get iDRAC discovery up and working, only to be told that it doesn't support SNMP v3 credentials OOB. Does anyone else have this working in their environment, and if so, is your security team cool with having v2 turned on? It seems crazy to me that v3 wouldn't be supported for anything at this point. Thanks!

You Are Correct even docs says same - "
Dell DRAC/iDRAC devices are dedicated management interfaces used to remotely monitor, troubleshoot, and manage physical servers. These interfaces can be used for activities such as hardware monitoring, accessing local media, and adjusting BIOS settings.
ServiceNow Discovery identifies these devices using the SNMP - DRAC probe, which uses SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c".
Once You Configure SNMP V2C or V1 It will work given IP Range/Subnet Covers its IP.
Out-of-Band Devices - Support and Troubleshooting
In My view in your environment if You are using SNMP V2c for Other n/w Devices then security team must have approved those also.
Regards
RP

Replying to this in case anyone else has this issue. The docs are worded poorly, and iDRAC discovery does support SNMP v3. In our case, we somehow got the credentials out of whack. But the authentication and privacy protocols turned out to be SHA-1 and AES128 even though it doesn't expressly show that within the DRAC management portal. Hope this information might help someone else!
