Issue 6 Description: "Unknown: " error entries are repeatedly logged in the Syslog folder of the ESXi system. The existing logs overwrite other important events logged previously. This is caused when the virtual switch (vSwitchiDRACvusb) is automatically removed. The issue occasionally occurs during system shutdown or if an administrator disables the OS to iDRAC Pass-through over USB or enables the OS to iDRAC Pass-through over LOM.

○ The iDRAC Service Module will fail to configure the OS to iDRAC Pass-through in the USB NIC mode. ○ If OS to iDRAC Pass-through in the USB NIC mode is already configured, Watchdog feature does not work resulting in ASR000 event. iDRAC Service Module functionality is restored when "Local racadm set" is enabled. ● When you use iDRAC Service Module 2.3 for WMI queries over winrm, additional properties with null value is observed. This does not affect the functionality and it can be ignored.
