I thought there was some base functionality with iDRAC that was free -
unless you can buy a lifetime license at purchase time?

My company had 2 R430s and 2 R610s that I naver paid a license for
iDRAC, but it always seemed to be there. The R430s fell off of VMWare
support and I was dying to throw Proxmox on them, but got the
thumbs-down from our ops director. He was firmly in the "no open source"
old-school.
