iDRAC Service Module
The iDRAC Service module (iSM) is a small OS-resident process that expands iDRAC management into supported host
operating systems. Services that the iSM adds include OS information, automatic system recovery, and remote server
power cycle.
It also enables NVMe device removal without shutting down or rebooting the system.
