Which BMC feature is used instead of iDRAC on DSS servers?

The feature used instead of iDRAC on DSS servers is standard remote management. This is significant because DSS (Dell Storage Solutions) servers are designed with specific management requirements and capabilities that differ from standard server systems. The standard remote management feature provides fundamental remote management functionalities that are essential for monitoring and accessing server performance without the complexity and additional features offered by iDRAC.

This feature enables remote access to the server’s essential features such as power cycling, troubleshooting, and basic system monitoring. In environments where simplicity and efficiency are prioritized, especially in large-scale deployments or configurations, standard remote management fulfills these needs effectively.

The other options, while related to various aspects of server management, do not fully replace the functionalities provided by iDRAC in a targeted manner for DSS servers. Firmware flashing, integrated diagnostics, and basic hardware monitoring serve distinct purposes but do not encompass the complete set of remote management features designed for operational efficiency in DSS environments.
