Users Guide

To create an iDRAC Service Module deployment task:

1. Click Manage → Remote Tasks → Common Tasks → Create Deployment Task.

2. On General, select iDRAC Service Module and provide a task name. If you want to deploy the iDRAC Service Module on

Windows-based servers, then select

Windows, provide installer path and, if required, provide arguments. If you want to deploy

the iDRAC Service Module on Linux-based servers, select

Linux and provide the installer path, select Generate Trusted Key

and Allow reboot. If you are using a .rpm package to deploy the iDRAC Service Module, select Upload and Install GPG key.

NOTE: Install the iDRAC Service Module prerequisites before deploying the iDRAC Service Module on Linux.

3. On Task Target, do one of the following:

• Select a query from the drop-down list or create a new query by clicking the New button.

• Select servers on which you want to run this task and click Next.

NOTE: Devices that are not applicable for the iDRAC Service Module deployment are not available for selection

in the Task Target. Moving the mouse pointer over such a device in the Task Target displays a tool tip that

indicates why the iDRAC Service Module cannot be deployed. If you want to override the device capability and

allow all the available devices for selection as task targets, select Enable all.

4. On Schedule and Credentials, set the schedule parameters, provide user credentials to enable the task.

5. If you want to deploy the iDRAC Service Module as a sudo user, select Enable Sudo and update the SSH port number.

NOTE: Before you deploy the iDRAC Service Module using sudo, create a new user account, edit the sudoers le

using the visudo command, and add the following:

Cmnd_Alias OMEUPDATE = /bin/tar,/bin/cat,/bin/rpm,/opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/

omexec,/tmp/LinuxPreInstallPackage64/runbada,/tmp/LinuxPreInstallPackage64/omexec

<sudo_username> ALL=OMEUPDATE, NOPASSWD:OMEUPDATE

NOTE: If the iDRAC Service Module is uninstalled from a system by a root user, before deploying the iDRAC Service

Module on that system using sudo, make sure that all the iDRAC Service Module pre-installation package les are

removed from the tmp folder.

NOTE: Deploying the iDRAC Service Module using sudo is not supported on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and ESX

targets.

6. Click Finish.
