Whenever I try to install the iDRAC Service Module, an

error message This operating system is not supported is

displayed.

The iDRAC Service Module can be installed only on the supported operating systems. For information on

operating systems that are supported, see Supported operating systems.

When I uninstall iDRAC Service Module from a VMware

ESXi server, I see the virtual switch is named as

“vSwitchiDRACvusb” and port group as “iDRAC Network”

on the Vsphere client. How do I delete them?

While installing iDRAC Service Module VIB on a VMware ESXi server, iDRAC Service Module creates the

vSwtich and Portgroup to communicate with iDRAC over the OS to iDRAC Pass-through in USB NIC

mode. After the uninstallation, the virtual switch vSwitchiDRACvusb and the port grou iDRAC Network

are not deleted. To delete it manually, perform one of the following steps:

• Go to vSphere Client Configuration wizard and delete the entries.

• Go to the Esxcli and type the following commands:

To remove port group esxcfg-vmknic -d -p "iDRAC Network"

To remove vSwitch esxcfg-vswitch -d vSwitchiDRACvusb

NOTE: You can reinstall iDRAC Service Module on the Vmware ESXi server as this is not a

functional issue for the server.

Where do I find the Replicated LifeCycle log on my

Operating System?
