I guess you already tried just adding a new node with entering the iDRAC IP address by using SNMP.
When I do it like this, Orion does not show any Disks in the discovered ressources:

But you can add the Node like this and than add a New Universal Device Poller using the DELL OID for physikal disks state
(1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.5.5.1.20.130.4.1.4)

I did create a Universal Device Poller that can grab a fair amount of information directly from the iDRAC including physical/logical disk status, if it's useful for you.
