Dell Open Manager Install (CentOS) The following documents the Procedure to Install Dell Open Manager on a Centos 5/6x server.
|
# wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi | bash |
Note: The bash pipe is very important.
Optional Install OpenManage Server Administrator:
# yum install srvadmin-all |
NOTE: You can install OMSA on all Linux systems even if the server is not supported. However, complete functionality is not guaranteed.
Update New Dell Software
This software install establishes two Dell specific repository for the dell hardware and OMSA. After the initial install perform, you should perform an update from the specific Dell respositories. In some Dell server this will make no differnce. In others, new support devices will be installed with update to the overall software. If not done for those server types requiring it, the OMSA software willnot start propertly.
To do this without a required reboot for other software for other software updates, temporarily disable the other respositories for the yum update. First list them out and them disabled them in the syntax with yum.

Open TCP Port 1311
Next open port 1311 (e.g. system-config-securitylevel):
Enable Web Server
Enabled and start the httpd server. This may require that you edit the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and assign the fully qualified named. This error occurs if fully qualified named (FQDN) is not specified:
# service httpd restart |
Edit the file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and assign the fully qualified named for the parameter "ServerName" to eliminate this error:
# If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here. |
Restarting the services will eliminate this error:
# service httpd restart |
Make sure the http service is enable to start automatically (e.g. system-config-services):
Note: dsm_om_connsvc, dsm_om_shrsvc, dsm_sa_ipmi and instsvcdrv services have been added by the Open Manager install.
Start Dell Services
Use the script srvadmin-services.sh in the /opt/dell/srvadm/sbin directory to start the dell services and enable them to run at boot up.
# /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/srvadmin-services.sh start Starting Systems Management Device Drivers: Starting dell_rbu: [ OK ] Starting ipmi driver: [ OK ] Starting Systems Management Data Engine: Starting dsm_sa_datamgrd: [ OK ] Starting dsm_sa_eventmgrd: [ OK ] Starting DSM SA Shared Services: [ OK ] Starting DSM SA Connection Service: [ OK ] # /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/srvadmin-services.sh enable racsvc 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off instsvcdrv 0:on 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:on dataeng 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off dsm_om_shrsvc 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off dsm_om_connsvc 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off ipmi 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off # |
Note: If you get a failure on say "Staring DMA SA Connection Service:" It is probably because you have not perform a yum update from the Dell repository.
