  • iDRAC Service Module (iSM) for AX nodes and Storage Spaces Direct Ready Nodes

    The iDRAC Service Module (iSM) is a lightweight software module that you can install on AX nodes to complement the iDRAC interfaces—the user interface (UI), RACADM CLI, Redfish, and Web Services-Management (WS-Man)—with additional monitoring data.

    To install iSM on the operating system, perform the following steps.
    Note: The ISM application package is installed as part of firmware and driver updates using the ASHCI catalog.

    1. Go to iDRAC > iDRAC Settings > Settings > iDRAC Service Module Setup.
    2. Start the virtual console.
    3. Log in to the host operating system as an administrator.
    4. From the device list, select the mounted volume that is identified as SMINST and then click the ISM_Win.bat script to start the installation.
    After the installation is completed, iDRAC indicates that the iSM is installed and specifies the latest installation date.
