cameron,
For this R710 server, what does the software inventory show up in the Details section ("Manage -> Devices -> All Devices" tree) ? Does it list BIOS ?
Can you also check if CSIOR (Collect System Inventory On Restart) feature is enabled on R710 iDRAC6 ? You can run this winrm command from OME server command prompt:
winrm g schemas.dmtf.org/.../DCIM_LCEnumeration -u:Username -p:Password -r:https://<IDRAC IP>/wsman -SkipCNcheck -SkipCAcheck -encoding:utf-8 -a:basic
Sample output:
DCIM_LCEnumeration
AttributeName = Collect System Inventory on Restart
Caption = null
CurrentValue = Enabled
DefaultValue = Disabled
Description = null
ElementName = LC.emb.1
InstanceID = DCIM_LCEnumeration:CCR5
IsOrderedList = null
IsReadOnly = false
PendingValue = null
PossibleValues = Enabled, Disabled
PossibleValuesDescription = null
Thanks,
Raj Shresta
