Installing iDRAC Service Module on supported
Linux operating systems
The complete iDRAC Service Module is packaged in a single Red Hat Package Manager (rpm). The package, accompanied by a shell script
can install, uninstall, or enable/disable the features available.
As the Installer on Linux is a single rpm install, there is no granular install support. You can enable/disable the features through the scripted
installs only.
NOTE: The Installer is available for all iDRAC Service Module supported 64–bit versions of Linux operating systems.
NOTE: On repository-based installs such as, Yellowdog Updater, Modified (YUM), VMware Update Manager (VUM) and
Citrix XenServer supplemental pack, all the features are not enabled by default.
NOTE: The OS log collection feature of SupportAssist Collection is not supported on CentOS.
Preinstallation requirement for Linux operating systems
To install the iDRAC Service Module on systems running the supported Linux operating system, run setup.sh.
Ensure that the basic functional requirements are met, such as:
• OS-to-iDRAC Passthru is enabled automatically after installing iDRAC Service Module.
• The IPv4 Network stack is enabled in the Host Operating system.
• The USB subsystem is enabled.
• udev is enabled; required to start iDRAC Service Module automatically.
For more information on iDRAC, see the latest Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller User’s Guide at dell.com/support/home.
