Dell Openmanage install possible?
I am loading up a T610 / centos7.5 and really would like some way of managing the system. So, I m looking at Openmanage by Dell.
I have to say, Everytime I visit their site its pretty confusing. I usually go around in circles ...
Does dell support Centos7.5 for openmanage? Evidently Iam not downloading the correct file (RH7 version) it reports "not supported" when running the setup.sh. However, I do see some info on their repos but nothing on how to really setup the repo.
Wonder if anyone with centos on dells is running this or perhaps I should be looking at some other means of keeping tabs on the system. Ideally I would love to know via email when drives die ect ...
Thanks,

Re: Dell Openmanage install possible?
A mostly useless comment, but I do have OpenManage installed on my R320 running CentOS 7:
These days Dell is pushing DSU, but I haven't jumped on that bandwagon yet.
Are you sure it is complaining about the operating system and not your hardware?
Code: Select all
$ omreport about
Product name : Dell EMC OpenManage Server Administrator

Re: Dell Openmanage install possible?
I think dsu serves a different purpose than OMSA and I have both installed and use them. OMSA keeps an eye on the current hardware for problems, dsu allows you to update the firmware etc on all the devices that are installed.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: Dell Openmanage install possible?
It tells me that the O/S is not supported. Obviously then I have downloaded the wrong version:
My thinking was RHEL7 = Centos7 but Im wrong.
Where do you get the centos7 version then? I do not seem to find it anywhere. I will keep looking though.
Code: Select all
[admin@srvr OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-LX-9.1.0-2757.RHEL7.x86_64_A00]$ sudo ./setup.sh
Unrecognized / Unsupported Operating System or Architecture. This script cannot
continue with the installation. Select rpms from the OS folder in
the media that closely matches this Operating System to continue
with the manual install.

Re: Dell Openmanage install possible?
Please don't. The most you should ever need to do is run setenforce 0 to put it temporarily into permissive mode. Doing that will generate sufficient log information to be able to fix it properly using the instructions from the following links:Ok, Found it. Had to disable selinux - imagine eh?

Re: Dell Openmanage install possible?
I will make note of that on selinux - thank you.
Well, I have to say I installed the latest OMSA and started the service and got:
Evidently this is a bug that Dell has not fixed yet. Sooooo... Perhaps there is an older version I can use?

Re: Dell Openmanage install possible?
There are numerous copies of the smbios packages around. RH shipped them as part of 7.5 (at Dell's request) but the two sides got their wires crossed and the RH ones don't (or didn't) work with the current (at the time) OMSA versions. There are also smbios packages in Dell's own repo and in EPEL and which ones you have depend on what repos you have enabled, what priorities they have set and which way the wind is blowing! The ones I am using are - I believe - from EPEL and are
libsmbios-2.3.3-7.el7.x86_64
smbios-utils-bin-2.3.3-7.el7.x86_64
libsmbios-2.3.3-7.el7.x86_64
smbios-utils-bin-2.3.3-7.el7.x86_64

I will then attempt to install your working versions and then reinstall OMSA.

[SOLVED] Re: Dell Openmanage install possible?
Got it working!
Had to uninstall smbios and then re-install it. I do have the EPEL repo setup.
One fact is that its accessed over a secure connection (https://) . So, Im in looking around getting used to everything there.
Thanks for all the pointers / help.
