Make sure 10.222.8.47 is not IDRAC, but usual linux machine. You can't run ansible on IDRAC itself.

@rht-rkaruppu Could not reproduce this issue - We may need more details like - iDRAC firmware version and also the collection version.

Also as @sshnaidm suggested - make sure the iDRAC IP is passed and not the ansible host IP. Our modules do not SSH into iDRAC, so add a connection: local or delegateto: localhost in the playbook.

@rht-rkaruppu Looks like #399 is also duplicate of this - Kindly request you to close one of them.

Please use the role idrac_os-deployment instead, we have added this to use virtual media instead of SCP.
