How to install iDrac Service Module 4.1 on ESXi 7

Is it necessary to bring the ESXi host into Maintenance Mode before installing ISM using "esxcli software component apply -d"? There is no mention about it in the ISM User's guide. But in the installation instructions on product support pages is Maintenance Mode required.

Hello,

maintenance mode is not a requirement but a best practices, and I suggest to install ISM in Maintenance Mode, like this link

Fool01,

 

I don't believe Maintenance Mode is a requirement for the installation, but it's usually a good idea..
Let me know if this helps.

There is a discrepancy between the User's guide and the installation instructions on the support pages (https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=c8yw2). So I wanted to know if anyone has personal experience installing ISM without the Maintenance Mode.

Best Regards

Lubos
