I had the pleasure to frankenstein a T330 board in a 2U chassis.
So now i have pve running and i would like do see additional OS information in iDRAC. As far as i can tell, i need "iDRAC Service Module XYZ (for Linux)".
BUT the versions i downloaded from https://www.dell.com/support or https://linux.dell.com/repo/community/openmanage/ don't sem to work with debian 12 out of the box. So i might have to change something.

Is their a way, where i can install iSM on a current debian 12, with support for T330 hardware ?
 
if your's is a PowerEdge too, this might work.

Filtered by OS Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS, which uses debian 12 and kernel 6.5 if i googled correctly

You need to install OSC\dcism-osc-7.3.1.0-153.ubuntu22.deb before UBUNTU22\x86_64\dcism-5.3.1.0-3503.ubuntu22.deb
(At least with this i can install both)
After a reboot im now able to OS details, afaik even after disabling "BS toiDRAC PassThrough" again.

So solved for me, thanks @butarelo for pointing me to the current .deb files so i dared to install them :D .

I successfully installed iDrac Service Module on Dell PowerEdge R7625 with Proxmox 8.2.3 (Debian 12).
I didnt reboot the server though.
I started Service module manually:
systemctl start dcismeng
