Release Notes

Installation
• To install iDRAC Service Module on Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Core, Microsoft Windows Server
2012 Core and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Core, Windows-on-Windows (WOW) mode must
be enabled.
• On the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems, to perform an
"Express Install," execute "dcism-setup.sh -x" from the "SYSMGMT/iSM/linux" directory.
For more information on installation instructions, including silent installation options, see the "iDRAC Service
Module Installation Guide".
Limitation
• Do not specify user profile folders such as a desktop folder (C:\Users\administrator\Desktop) as custom
installation paths for installing iDRAC Service Module. This is because services running on the system
account cannot access such folders.
• On systems running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 operating system, a warning
message about the Dell Self-Signed Certificate for registering the Dell iDRAC Virtual USBNIC Device
is displayed during iDRAC Service Module installation. Click "Install" to proceed with the installation
(BITS113354).
• When OS to iDRAC Pass-through in the USB NIC mode is enabled with USB 3.0 enabled in BIOS,
iDRAC Virtual USB NIC driver does not load automatically on Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 SP1. The
Intel USB 3.0 xHCI driver on Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Host OS is not recognizing the RNDIS
configuration during enumeration. This issue is specific to USB 3.0 and Microsoft Windows 2008 R2
SP1. To resolve the issue, manually load the Microsoft RNDIS driver on the Host OS (BITS239254).
• Lifecycle Controller logs are not seen in the new folder in the Event Viewer (169898) if you have
recently changed the folder name of the Lifecycle Controller logs in the Event Viewer, Microsoft
recommends that you reboot the operating system to be able to view the Lifecycle Controller logs under
the new view name (BITS113354).
• On Dell’s 12th generation of PowerEdge servers with iDRAC firmware version 1.57.57 or earlier,
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) feature is not active by default. The WMI feature is
automatically activated when iDRAC firmware version 2.10.10.10 or later is installed (BITS113354).
• On Windows operating system, 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 (BITS180635).
• On systems running the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 operating system, the non-ASCII characters
are not displayed for the WMI classes by the winrm client. This limitation is observed when you enter
the WSMAN command to retrieve OS-related information. However, Microsoft recommends you to use
the PowerShell based wsman client command (Get-WSManInstance) to retrieve OS-related information.
For example, Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 is displayed as Microsoftr Windows Serverr 2008
(BITS178203).
• If iDRAC Service Module 2.0 or later is used with an iDRAC firmware version prior to 2.10.10.10, the
WMI interface may stop responding. It is recommended to upgrade to the latest iDRAC firmware or
reset the iDRAC (BITS178203).
• Feature Lifecycle Log Replication on OS Log shows one-hour difference in the EventTimeStamp
displayed in OS log, when daylight saving is applied.
Documentation Errata
In the iDRAC Service Module 2.2 documents, VMware vSphere (ESXi) 5.5 U3 must be read as VMware
vSphere (ESXi) 5.5 U2.
