Installation
To install iDRAC Service Module on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Core, Microsoft Windows
Server 2012 Core and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Core, Windows-on-Windows
(WOW) mode must be enabled.
On the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems, to
perform an "Express Install," execute "dcism-setup.sh -x" from the "SYSMGMT/iSM/linux"
directory.
For more information on installation instructions, including silent installation options, see the
"iDRAC Service Module Installation Guide".
Limitation
Do not specify user profile folders such as a desktop folder (C:\Users\administrator\Desktop)
as custom installation paths for installing iDRAC Service Module. This is because services
running on the system account cannot access such folders.
On systems running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 operating system, a
warning message about the Dell Self-Signed Certificate for registering the Dell iDRAC Virtual
USBNIC Device is displayed during iDRAC Service Module installation. Click "Install" to
proceed with the installation (BITS113354).
Lifecycle Controller logs are not seen in the new folder in the Event Viewer (169898) if you
have recently changed the folder name of the Lifecycle Controller logs in the Event Viewer,
Microsoft recommends that you reboot the operating system to be able to view the
Lifecycle Controller logs under the new view name (BITS113354).
On Dell’s 12th generation of PowerEdge servers with iDRAC firmware version 1.57.57 or
earlier, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) feature is not active by default. The
WMI feature is automatically activated when iDRAC firmware version 2.10.10.10 or later is
installed (BITS113354).
On Windows operating system, a feature that is enabled using the installer and disabled
using any interface other than the installer, can only be enabled using the same interface
or the installer in GUI mode (BITS180635).
