Bare Metal Orchestrator is a multiple-vendor device management platform, which means you can manage the lifecycle of devices from multiple vendors. Validated models of Dell, HPE iLO, and Supermicro servers that have been validated for use with Bare Metal Orchestrator are listed, as well as validated switches and RAID controllers.
Servers
Bare Metal Orchestrator is validated to work with the Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 9 (iDRAC9) on validated Dell PowerEdge servers. Bare Metal Orchestrator is also validated to work with HPE iLO and Supermicro servers models listed in this section.

14G servers
The following Dell PowerEdge 14th generation servers were tested to validate Bare Metal Orchestrator compatibility with that generation of Dell PowerEdge servers:
Validated models | Supported BIOS version | Supported iDRAC firmware versions |
PowerEdge R640 Rack Server | 2.12.2 2.17.1 | 5.00.10.20 5.10.30.00 6.10.80.00 |
PowerEdge R740 Rack Server | ||
PowerEdge R740xd Rack Server |
After a factory reset, the Redfish APIs and iDRAC GUI are inaccessible causing the server state to fail in Bare Metal Orchestrator. You must manually update the DNS attribute in the iDRAC settings for the iDRAC firmware version 6.00.30.00 to be applied to the server. For more information, see the Bare Metal Orchestrator Command Line Interface User's Guide.
