NOTE: To know if iDRAC Service Module is installed on your Linux operating system, run the command /etc/init.d/
dcismeng status. If the iDRAC Service Module is installed and running, the status running is displayed.
NOTE: Use the systemctl status dcismeng.service command instead of the init.d command to check if the
iDRAC Service Module is installed on RedHat Enterprise Linux 7 or SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 operating system.
NOTE:
You must provide a unique port number between the range 1024 to 65535 if you chose to install iDRAC access via Host
OS feature. If you do not provide a port number, port number 1266 or a previously configured port (if any) is assigned by
default.
NOTE: if OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) is already installed on 1311, the same port could not be utilized for
iDRAC Service module.
Silent installation
You can install the iDRAC Service Module silently in the background without a user console. This can be achieved by using
setup.sh with parameters.
The parameters that can be passed to use setup.sh are:
