Dell EMC iDRAC Service Module 3.5.1 User’s Guide
Installing the iDRAC Service Module on VMware ESXi
VMware ESXi is factory-installed on some systems. For a list of these systems, see the latest Systems Software Support Matrix at dell.com/support.
The iDRAC Service module (iSM) is available as a .zip file for installing on systems running VMware ESXi operating system. The .zip file follows the naming convention ISM-Dell-Web-3.5.1-<bldno>.VIB-<version>i-Live.zip, where <version> is the supported ESXi version.
The zip files for the supported ESXi versions are:
- For VMware ESXi 7.x: ISM-Dell-Web-3.5.1-<bldno>.VIB-ESX7i-Live.zip
- For VMware ESXi 6.5 and 6.7: ISM-Dell-Web-3.5.1-<bldno>.VIB-ESX6i-Live.zip
If VMware ESXi is not installed on your system, follow the steps to install the iSM on VMware ESXi:
- Copy the iSM offline bundle zip file to the /var/log/vmware location on the host operating system.
- Run the following command:
- For VMware ESXi 7.x: esxcli software component apply -d /var/log/vmware/<iDRAC Service Module file>
- For VMware ESXi 6.x: esxcli software vib install -d /var/log/vmware/<iDRAC Service Module file>
To upgrade the iSM on VMware ESXi, do the following:
- Copy the iSM offline bundle zip file to the /var/log/vmware location on the host operating system.
- Run the following command:
- For VMware ESXi 7.x: esxcli software component apply -d /var/log/vmware/<iDRAC Service Module file>
- For VMware ESXi 6.x: esxcli software vib update -d /var/log/vmware/<iDRAC Service Module file>
NOTE The feature configuration of iDRAC Service Module is not retained as is after a forced or ungraceful reboot. A backup of the configuration files is created by the ESXi hypervisor through the
script /sbin/auto-backup.sh that runs periodically for every 60 minutes. If you want to retain the configuration, manually run the backup.sh script before you reboot the system.
NOTE Reboot of the host operating system is not required after installing or uninstalling the iDRAC Service Module Live VIB package.
NOTE On repository-based installs such as, VMware Update Manager (VUM) and apt-repository, all the features are not enabled by default.
Download VMware vSphere Command Line Interface (vSphere CLI) from http://vmwaredepot.dell.com/DEL/ and install on the Microsoft Windows or Linux system.
