After installing iSM using the Batch file

ISM_Win.BAT from the iDRAC exposed logical

partition "SMINST" on Microsoft Windows OS, I

see a console message saying "The system cannot

find the file specified."

After iSM is installed successfully, the logical partition SMINST gets unmounted from the Host OS. This message appears if the BAT

script is invoked from the SMINST partition itself. The installation is successful. No action is required by the user.

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

To fix this issue, run the command apt-get install -f. This will install dependent packages.

When I install iSM 3.4.0 or later on Linux operating

systems such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, I see

some messages in OS logs such as

G_IS_SIMPLE_ACTION (simple)' failed: failed to

rescan: Failed to parse /usr/share/applications/

iDRACGUILauncher.desktop file: cannot process

file of type application/x-desktop

The messages are related to the GNOME desktop manager. Various OS groups have Bugzilla items for this scenario to be addressed. For

example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1594177. No action is required by the user.

I see a blank terminal on RHEL 7.6 or RHEL 8.0

when I click on

iDRAC GUI Launcher

shortcut from

Menu > Accessories.

The visibility of text on the terminal depends on GNOME version on the resident OS. An alternative is to run the launcher from a GUI-

capable shell. For example: bash#> sh /opt/dell/srvadmin/iSM/bin/iDRACLauncher.sh as a sudo user.
