Installing iDRAC Service Module on VMware ESXi using CLI

Caparrelli Paolo Hardware VMware 6 April 2023

Installing iDRAC Service Module on VMware ESXi using CLI

iSM is available in a ZIP file for installing on systems running VMware ESXi. The ZIP file follows the naming convention ISM-Dell-Web-4.2.0.0-<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-4.2.0.0-<bldno>.VIB-ESX7i-Live.zip
  • For VMware ESXi 6.x: ISM-Dell-Web-4.2.0.0-<bldno>.VIB-ESX6i-Live.zip

If VMware ESXi is not installed on your system, follow these steps to install iSM on VMware ESXi:

  1. Copy iSM offline bundle ZIP file to the /var/log/vmware location on the host operating system.
  2. 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:

  1. Copy the iSM offline bundle ZIP file to the /var/log/vmware location on the host operating system.
  2. 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>

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 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, not all features are enabled by default.
