NSX Edge Bare Metal on Dell PowerEdge

Hi, trying to install Dell iSM so info about the OS can be found in iDRAC, when installing I get an error that USBUtils isn't installed. Wondering if anyone has run into the same issue and if that can be installed, I'm using iSM 3.5.1 that is the latest for Ubuntu 18.04 (NSX 3.2.2.1), thanks.

NSX 3.2.3 has the same issue, it’s based on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Playing in a lab I am able to add the Ubuntu repo and install USBUtils along with Dell iSM. I’m sure that isn’t supported, wish I could find something from HP, Dell or anyone on installing their 3rd party solutions on NSX Edge nodes, everything does look to work fine but no idea what would happen during an update. I imagine the base OS packages could get updated and fail if dependencies aren’t available.
