Installing iDRAC Service Module when the System

Conguration Lock Down Mode is enabled

When the System Conguration Lock Down Mode is enabled through iDRAC, no conguration operations can be performed for

iDRACService Module. All the features that were enabled before the System Conguration Lock Down Mode was turned on will continue to

be enabled. If iSM is installed after the System Conguration Lock Down Mode is enabled, then only the iSM features that were enabled

earlier will be available for the users. Whenever the System Conguration Lock Down Mode is turned o in iDRAC, then all the

conguration operations can be performed.

Support for iDRAC URI to get iSM installer

Starting from 14th generation of 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 lename present in the xml to append to the URL.
