● On Windows operating systems, a feature that is enabled using the installer and disabled using any interface other than the
installer can only be enabled using the same interface or the installer in GUI mode.
● IPv6 support on Linux operating systems are not available for the following features:
○ iSM Auto Update
○ ismtech
○ Inband iDRAC Access
○ SNMP Get via Host operating system
Limitations on VMware ESXi operating systems
● Upgrading an earlier version of ESXi to ESXi 7.x is failing with iSM VIB installed. In VMware vSphere 7.0, 32-bit userworld
support is deprecated. For more information, see the Deprecation of 32-bit Userworld Support section in VMware vSphere
7.0 Release Notes and Known issues section in VMware vSphere 7.x on Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers Release Notes.
Workaround: Before upgrading an earlier version of ESXi to ESXi 7.0, uninstall the 32-bit iSM VIB corresponding to iSM
v3.5.0 or earlier on the hypervisor.
Tracking number: 148591
● When the small footprint CIM broker (SFCB) configuration is set to read-only mode in the VMware ESXi operating system,
iSM-Windows remote management (WinRM) commands such as iDRACHardreset, EnableInBandSNMPTraps do not function.
As a workaround, use the Invoke-iDRACHardReset command line utility to perform the iDRAC Hardreset operation.
● The iDRAC Access via Host operating system feature is not supported on VMware ESXi operating systems.
● When Local Racadm set is disabled through iDRAC interfaces:
○ iSM fails to configure the operating system to iDRAC passthru in the USB NIC mode.
○ iSM functionality is restored when Local Racadm set is enabled.
● EventID for Lifecycle Controller logs replicated to operating system log will be 0 for some of the past events.
● TrapID for In-band SNMP Traps will be 0 for some of the past traps.
● When iDRAC Hardreset is disabled in iDRAC and you perform an iDRAC Hardreset operation from the hypervisor operating
systems like VMware ESXi, the result indicates success although iDRAC is not reset.
