Release Notes

• Starting iSM version 3.3, iSM confi‚gures the Host OS USBNIC interface only once. Subsequently, if you bring down the USBNIC
interface on the Host OS by deleting the IP address, making the interface link down or disabling the IPV4 or IPV6 address on this
interface, then iSM will retain the user con‚guration and does not override the interface settings. To restore the communication
between iSM and iDRAC, please restart the iSM service on the Host OS.
Known Issues and Limitations on Linux Operating Systems
Issue 1
Description: After performing an iDRAC Hard Reset operation on certain Linux operating systems, the IPMI driver (ipmi_si) may become
unresponsive because of an existing issue in the IPMI driver. If the IPMI driver becomes unresponsive, reload the IPMI driver (ipmi_si).
The issue is seen on Linux kernel version prior to 3.15. An update is available in the following operating systems with Linux kernal version
3.15 or later.
To reload the IPMI driver:
• modprobe -r ipmi_si — If the removal fails, then all applications (such as iDRAC Service Module and OpenManage Server
Administrator) using the ipmi_si need to be stopped and retry the operation.
• modprobe ipmi_si — Alternatively, the administrator can also restart the Host OS to resolve the issue.
Issue 2: BITS088419
Description: Feature Lifecycle Log Replication on OS Log shows one-hour difference in the EventTimeStamp displayed in the OS log,
when daylight saving is applied.
Issue 3: JIT-102480
Description: When iDRAC Service Module 3.3.0 is installed on RHEL 6.10 operating system with SELinux enabled in either of Permissive or
Enforcing modes, AVC denial logs (AVC denial is noticed with iptables) are observed in /var/log/audit/audit.log while the
following features are enabled or disabled:
1. iDRAC Access via Host OS.
2. Host SNMP Alerts.
Workaround: iDRAC Service Module 3.3.0 does not support explicit SELinux policies. No action is expected from the user. There is no
functionality impact to iSM features due to this. Future releases of iSM shall address the AVC denials.
Issue 4: JIT-106937
Description:If dependent packages for iSM are not present on Ubuntu OS, then installation through OS DUP installs iSM in install
+unpacked state. You can verify this using the below command:
#dpkg -s dcism
Package: dcism
Status: install ok unpacked
Workaround:To fix this issue, run the command apt-get install -f. This will install dependent packages.
Issue 5: JIT-113384
Description: iDRAC Service Module Linux installer package within LC DUP is same as version 3.3.0 with support for newer platforms.
Known Issues, Limitations, and Workaround on VMware ESXi
Operating Systems
Issue 1
Description: After performing an iDRAC Hard Reset operation on certain VMware ESXi operating systems, the IPMI driver (ipmi_si_drv)
may become unresponsive because of an existing issue in the IPMI driver. If the IPMI driver becomes unresponsive, reload the IPMI driver
(ipmi_si_drv).
