Which feature requires an iDRAC Enterprise license for a compute sled on a PowerEdge MX7000 chassis?

• BiDRAC Service Module
• CLast Crash Screen
• DStorage Management

• B

• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Remote File Share (A) requires an iDRAC Enterprise license because it enables mounting remote ISO images or file shares over the network for virtual media and OS deployment - an advanced remote management capability restricted to Enterprise-tier licensing on Dell PowerEdge platforms including MX7000 compute sleds.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (iDRAC Service Module): Available without an Enterprise license; it's a lightweight OS-level agent that works with the base iDRAC license.
• C (Last Crash Screen): This feature captures the screen at the time of a system crash and is available in iDRAC Basic/Express, not gated behind Enterprise.
• D (Storage Management): Basic storage visibility and management is available in lower license tiers; it does not require Enterprise.

Memory tip: Think "Enterprise = Extended Reach" - Remote File Share is about reaching outside the chassis to remote network storage, which maps to the premium license. If a feature involves connecting iDRAC to something off-box (like a network share), Enterprise is likely required.
