Hi,

Has anyone managed to get iDRAC service module setup for PVE 9? None of the old guides or threads are relevant now so i was able to get the service module running, it just crashes out immediately.

The best guide I have seen working was for PVE 8 and it did function but a clean intstall on PVE 9 it is no longer working - https://blog.williamdes.eu/Infrastructure/tutorials/install-dell-idrac-racadm-on-proxmox-7/
What is odd is this does work after an upgrade from PVE8>9 which I would rather avoid.

Any suggestions? @aaron
 
It appears that Dell has dropped support for older server generations in newer iSM builds:

My best guess would be that older iSM versions have a dependency on packages that no longer exist in Debian 13 (trixie); most likely a vulnerable version of OpenSSL.

Which Dell server are you trying to install it on?
It was an R210 II so rather old one.
