When the System Configuration Lock Down Mode is enabled through iDRAC, no configuration operations can be performed for

iDRACService Module. All the features that were enabled before the System Configuration Lock Down Mode was turned on will continue

to be enabled. If iSM is installed after the System Configuration Lock Down Mode is enabled, then only the iSM features that were

enabled earlier will be available for the users. Whenever the System Configuration Lock Down Mode is turned off in iDRAC, then all the

configuration operations can be performed.

Support for iDRAC URI to get iSM installer

Starting from yx4x servers, you can download the iSM web packs by using the following URL:https:// <iDRACIP>/software/ism/

package.xml. You can download the packages only when iSM LC DUP is uploaded and available in iDRAC. You can also load it in iDRAC

by enabling the iDRAC LC autoupdate.

To download the packages, use the filename present in the xml to append to the URL.
