Auto-updating of iDRAC Service Module

Starting from iDRAC Service Module version 3.0.1 you can do the auto-update. It aims at making the update process easier for you, by integrating iSM update with the iDRAC auto-update process.

NOTE: If iDRAC auto-update is enabled, iDRAC Service Module LC DUP must be updated to the latest version from dell.com/support.
NOTE: User does not have to download the updates from support.dell.com. The updated iSM package is locally available in iDRAC.
  • To install or update iSM type dcism-sync.exe in the command prompt. Complete the steps in the installation wizard.
  • To display the help content, type––help/-h.
  • To do silent install or update, type––silent/-s.
  • To uninstall the current version and install the update package available in LC, type ––force/-f.
    NOTE: This option overwrites the previous configuration.
  • To get details about the update package version and the installed version of iDRAC Service Module, type ––get—version/-v.
  • To download the iDRAC Service Module update packages to the user specified directory, type ––get—update/-g.
  • To install specific features, the same as CLI arguments used with msiexec.exe, type dcism-sync.exe —p “feature”.

    For example, to install iDRAC access via Host OS iDRAC feature on Windows, type dcism-sync.exe -p "ADDLOCAL=IBIA".

NOTE: iSM auto-update executable files are available on Dell TechCenter. The iSM auto-update executable dcism-sync.exe is dependent on Microsoft C and C++ runtime libraries such as msvcr100.dll and msvcp100.dll. These DLLs are required for dcism-sync to run successfully. You can download these libraries from the tech center as <auto-update.zip> file or copy the dependent DLLs into the folder where dcism-sync exists.
