Installing The iDRAC Service Module on Linux operating system

  1. The available features that can be installed are displayed on the screen. The available options are:
    • [1] Watchdog Instrumentation Service.
    • [2] Lifecycle Log Replication.
    • [3] Operating System Information.
    • [4] iDRAC access via Host OS
    • [5] iDRAC Hard Reset
    • [6] All features.
  2. To install the required feature, enter the number of the respective feature.
    NOTE: Separate the number of the features to be installed by a comma.
    NOTE: To install all the three features select All features option.
  3. If you do not want to continue the installation, enter q to quit.
NOTE: Starting iDRAC Service Module 2.4, you can also modify the features after installation.
NOTE: To know if iDRAC Service Module is installed on your Linux operating system, run the command /etc/init.d/dcismeng status. If the iDRAC Service Module is installed and running, the status running is displayed.
NOTE: Use the systemctl status dcismeng.service command instead of the init.d command to check if the iDRAC Service Module is installed on RedHat Enterprise Linux 7 or SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 operating system.
NOTE:

You must provide a unique port number between the range 1024 to 65535 if you chose to install iDRAC access via Host OS feature. If you do not provide a port number, port number 1266 or a previously configured port (if any) is assigned by default.

NOTE: if OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) is already installed on 1311, the same port could not be utilized for iDRAC Service module.
