ansible-idrac-9-10

# Ansible against iDRAC 9 and iDRAC 10 Operator skill for the `dellemc.openmanage` Ansible collection across both generations of Dell's BMC. Targets collection **≥ 9.12.3** (broad iDRAC 10 support) and **10.0.2** (full coverage incl. SCP / storage / OS deployment, Ansible Core 2.19+). Information current as of **July 2026** (collection 10.0.3, iDRAC 10 firmware 1.30.x, iDRAC 9 firmware 7.30.10.50). The skill exists because most iDRAC 9 playbooks **silently break on first contact with a 17G server** for two reasons that look unrelated but stack on top of each other: a firmware-level Basic-auth default change, and a collection-level module rename. Knowing both stops the bleed in one playbook edit instead of three days of firefighting. ## How to use this skill Route to one or two reference files based on the question.
