Thank You.
I do agree with you that an IPMI does add a lot of things but I found that the agent+IPMI check provide even more info,

One thing that I don't if possible is actually creating an alarm while there is a hardware failure, With Idrac snmp you can do that with one snmpwalk command.

Thanks Again
