Auto-updating iDRAC Service Module

You can auto-update the iDRAC Service Module. It aims at making the update process easier for you, by integrating iSM update with the

iDRAC auto-update process.

NOTE: If iDRAC auto-update is enabled, iDRAC Service Module LC DUP must be updated to the latest version from dell.com/

support.

NOTE: You do not have to download the updates from support.dell.com. The updated iSM package is locally available in iDRAC.

NOTE: iDRAC Service Module LC DUP in iDRAC will be removed when the iDRAC LC Wipe option is used. You will have to

download the iDRAC Service Module LC DUP from dell.com/support.

• To display the help content, type––help/-h.

• To do silent install or update, type––silent/-s.

• To uninstall the current version and install the update package available in LC, type ––force/-f.

• To download the iDRAC Service Module update packages to the user specied directory, type ––get—update/-g.

FullPowerCycle

FullPowerCycle is a calling interface function that provides a way to reset the server auxiliary power. An increasing amount of server

hardware runs on server auxiliary power; and troubleshooting of some server issues requires you to physically unplug the server power cord

to reset the hardware running on auxiliary power. Forcing someone to physically unplug/plug the power cords leads to a signicant cost and

hassle for customers as well as support personnel.

The FullPowerCycle feature enables the administrator to connect or disconnect the auxiliary power remotely without visiting the data

center. This feature is supported on and after 14th generation of Dell EMC PowerEdge servers.

When a Full Power Cycle Request is issued through this interface, the system power is not immediately aected. Instead, a ag is set that

will be queried when the system transitions to S5. For FullPowerCycle feature to take eect, after issuing the request command you have

to issue system shutdown command also. If the ag is set on S5 entry, the system will temporarily be forced into a lower power state,
