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.
 
I was able to install on PVE9.
I get Systems-Management_Application_WMJ1N_LN64_5.4.2.0_A00_02.BIN from Dell, extracted and installed dcism-5.4.2.0-4048.ubuntu24.deb and dcism-osc-7.4.2.0-221.ubuntu24.deb
No error given and after that i simply ask to run on start with systemctl enable dcismeng

I did something similar, I downloaded the Ubuntu idrac service module for a r650 from dells support website and grabbed the OSC.deb and dcism.deb file to install on my servers (a mix of r640s and r650s). After enabling and starting dcismeng via systemctl it took right off. I have not tried a reboot yet however.
