To verify the iSM service status, run the command: systemctl status dcismeng.service. If iSM is installed and
running, the status running is displayed.
You must provide a unique port number in 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. If
OpenManage Server Administrator is already installed on port 1311, the same port can not be utilized for iSM.
When iSM 3.4.0 or later is installed on Linux operating systems, a gnome warning is observed similar to: "failed to
rescan: Failed to parse /usr/share/applications/iDRACGUILauncher.desktop file: cannot process file of type application/
x-desktop''.
Silent installation of iDRAC Service Module on Linux
You can install iSM 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:
Table 10. Silent installation parameters
Parameter Description
-h Help: Displays help
-i Install: Installs and enables selected features
-x Express: Installs and enables all available features
-d Delete: Uninstalls iSM
-w Watchdog: Enables the Watchdog instrumentation service
-I Lifecycle Controller Log: Enables Lifecycle log information
-o Operating system information: Enables operating system information
-a Autostart: Starts the service after installing the iSM component
-O iDRAC access via Host OS: Enables the iDRAC access user interface, WS-Man, Redfish, Remote
RACADM
-s Enables In-Band SNMP traps
-So Enables SNMP OMSA Traps
-g Enables access via SNMP Get
-Sr Enables iDRAC SSO login as a read-only user
-Sa Enables iDRAC SSO login as Administrator
-Sm Enables Chipset S.M.A.R.T Monitoring
-Sp Enables Periodic S.M.A.R.T Log Collection
NOTE: On Linux operating systems, if a feature-modifying operation with silent option is enabled from the Linux web pack
using setup.sh, then the previously enabled feature states will be overridden by the new features you select during the
modifying operation.
