  1. Log on to vMA as an administrator and provide the password when prompted.
  2. Copy and unzip the ISM-Dell-Web-1.0.0-<bldno>.VIB-<version>i.zip file to a directory on the vMA.
  3. Shut down all guest operating systems on the ESXi host and put the ESXi host in maintenance mode.
  4. In vMA, execute the following command: For VMware ESXi 5.1: esxcli --server <IP Address of ESXi 5.1 host> software vib install -d /var/log/vmware/<iDRAC Service Module file> . For VMware ESXi 5.5: esxcli --server <IP Address of ESXi 5.5 host> software vib install -d /var/log/vmware/<iDRAC Service Module file> .
  5. Enter the root username and password of the ESXi host when prompted.

After completing the above steps:
