Installing the iDRAC Service Module on an ESXi server
The iDRAC Service module (iSM) is a small OS-resident process that expands iDRAC
management into supported host operating systems. Services that the iSM adds
include OS information, automatic system recovery, and remote server power cycle.
It also enables NVMe device removal without shutting down or rebooting the system.
The iSM is available as a Zip file for installing on systems running the VMware ESXi
operating system. You can install the iSM via SSH or using the vSphere CLI.
The Zip file follows the naming convention
ISM-Dell-Web-3.0.1- <bldno> .VIB-
<version> i.zip
, where
<version > is the supported ESXi version. Files for the
supported ESXi versions are:
