Jamieob,
Normally when you receive a "Not available" error, it is due to:
What you can start with is enabling SNMP and set the SNMPv3 protocol, which you can do with the following commands
racadm set iDRAC.SNMP.AgentEnable 1
racadm set iDRAC.SNMP.ProtocolVersion 3
After that you would need to configure the SNMPv3 user, which you can see an example of below.
racadm set iDRAC.SNMPv3User.1.Username snmpuser
racadm set iDRAC.SNMPv3User.1.AuthProtocol MD5
racadm set iDRAC.SNMPv3User.1.AuthPassword yourAuthPassword
racadm set iDRAC.SNMPv3User.1.PrivProtocol AES
racadm set iDRAC.SNMPv3User.1.PrivPassword yourPrivPassword
racadm set iDRAC.SNMPv3User.1.Enable 1
(AuthProtocol can be MD5 or SHA, and PrivProtocol can be AES or DES.)
Lastly, you would want to confirm it with the following
racadm get iDRAC.SNMP
racadm get iDRAC.SNMPv3User.1
Let me know if this helps.

After the second command, it fails there.
racadm>>racadm set iDRAC.SNMP.ProtocolVersion 3
ERROR: Invalid object specified.
This is iDrac9 firmware 5.10.10.00.

TNAbus,
To set the SNMPv3 protocol on an iDRAC9, I believe you can use the following RACADM command
racadm set idrac.snmp.EnableSNMPv3
or
racadm set idrac.snmp.EnableSNMPv3 1
I am not certain as the racadm guide for 5.10.10.10 isn't clear, so let me research this some more.
Let me know if this helps.

@DELL-Chris H I fixed my issue so I do not need these commands anymore. But for anyone else that found it was not possible to enter Auth nor Priv value onto a user created, it is because that feature is not supported until minimum version 6.0. After upgrading firmware, that solved my issue.
