Preinstallation requirements for VMware ESXi
Before installing iSM on systems running supported VMware ESXi, ensure that VMware ESXi sfcbd-watchdog service startup policy is set to Start and stop with host option.
To check the VMware ESXi sfcbd-watchdog service startup policy configuration, complete the following steps:
1. Log in to the VMware ESXi host using your root credentials.
2. From the Host navigator menu, click Manage.
3. Click Services and select the CIM Server service name (also labeled as sfcbd-watchdog).
4. Click Actions and then click Policy from the drop-down list.
The service policy options are listed.
5. Ensure that the policy is set to Start and stop with host option.

Hi,
I have started the service with the command esxcli system wbem set --enable true, now the service is started, but the iDrac still says "The iDRAC Service Module (iSM) is not running on the server operating system".
I also rebooted the idrac, but still the same
