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

NOTE: if OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) is already installed on 1311, the same port could not be utilized for
