Installing Dell OpenManage Server Administrator on Linux

R710 Dell™ OpenManage™ Server Administrator is Dell’s version of the HP System Management Homepage, as it allows you to log into a web interface to view system configuration, health, and performance statistics.  Its availible for free and runs in Windows and Linux.

Dell makes the install easy on Linux due via a public rpm repo. The steps below outline the simple install process.

Install OpenManage Server Administrator

 wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi | bash
yum -y install srvadmin-all

Start  Systems Management Data Engine

# /etc/init.d/dataeng start

Step 4: Start webinterface – 

/etc/init.d/dsm_om_connsvc start

Your system homepage is now availible via https://hostname:1311, where hostname is the hostname of your server.

Install Firmware/Bios Management Tools

# yum install dell_ft_install
# yum install $(bootstrap_firmware)

Now run either inventory_firmware or inventory_firmware_gui to view your firmware versions, and perform firmware upgrades.

    hello, I face below error when use above method on my Dell2950 server.
    sblim-sfcb-1.3.7-1.6.4.el5.x86_64 from dell-omsa-indep has depsolving problems
    –> Missing Dependency: perl(LWP::UserAgent) is needed by package sblim-sfcb-1.3.7-1.6.4.el5.x86_64 (dell-omsa-indep)
    Error: Missing Dependency: perl(LWP::UserAgent) is needed by package sblim-sfcb-1.3.7-1.6.4.el5.x86_64 (dell-omsa-indep)
    You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
    You could try running: package-cleanup –problems
    package-cleanup –dupes
    rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest
    The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

    I don’t know if this is a very good solution, but it worked for me…
    # wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/cim-schema-2.22.0-1.el5.noarch.rpm
    # wget http://mirror.remotelan.net/epel/5/x86_64/sblim-sfcb-1.3.8-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
    # rpm -Uvh cim-schema-2.22.0-1.el5.noarch.rpm
    # rpm -Uvh sblim-sfcb-1.3.8-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
    and then try to install Dell OM again
