OME System Update, false compliance report
Following up on my last post
For my Gen 12 and Gen 13 ESXi 6.0 servers, I decided to uninstall OMSA, install iDRAC Service Module and rebooting the hosts.
After deleting a couple of test devices from OME, and re-running discovery against the iDRAC ip addresses, the devices show up using the iDRAC DNS names, which is expected after what was explained in the linked post above.
After this, I visit the System Update compliance report in OME, currently using Dell Online Catalog. As expected, the two devices I'm testing on are Non-Compliant. There is a newer BIOS, NIC Firmware etc.
Next I re-run discovery against the ESXi Management IP address using WSMAN. After this, the devices in OME is renamed from the iDRAC DNS name to the ESXi host name, which is exactly what I want.
But now, when I revisit the System update compliance report, suddenly, both devices are listed as Compliant.
Any ideas why? Seems like if I want correct device naming, I'm sacrificing firmware compliance reports.

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Possible reason behind this issue is, OME ignores the software inventory details fetched from ESXi using WS-Man inband agent.
Ideally it shoud pick and show the inventory list from iDRAC for ESXi.
Can you please delete the device, and rediscover only using iDRAC ?
See if solves the problem of system update.
I will notify the team regarding this behavior.

Yes, after deleting and rediscovery of only iDRAC Inventory is correct. But then I loose the device naming. I need to discover ESXi as well to get the proper device naming in OME.
This worked well when I had OMSA installed on ESXi hosts. Now, with only iDRAC Service Module installed, it seems like the Inventory of ESXi is coming up empty, and actually overwriting the inventory it has from iDRAC.
