Installed This file was automatically installed as part of a recent update. If you are experiencing any issues, you can manually download and reinstall.iDRAC Service Module (iSM) is a lightweight software service that better integrates operating system (OS) features with iDRAC and can be installed on Dell PowerEdge 14G or later generation of servers. iSM provides OS-related information to iDRAC and adds capabilities such as Lifecycle Controller log event replication into the OS log, iDRAC SNMP alerts via OS, Metric injection from operating system to iDRAC telemetry, iDRAC hard reset and remote full Power Cycle. iSM automates SupportAssist report collection process for iDRAC leading to faster issue resolution. iSM has very little impact on the host processor and smaller memory footprint than in-band agents such as Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA), thus expanding iDRAC management to the supported host operating systems.
