Dell OM Linux Repository

Dell OM 7.4.0 Linux Repository

What is this?

This is the officially supported yum repository for Open Manage. This repository contains OMSA, drivers, BIOS, and firmware.
Please see the detailed description in the Dell OMSA Linux wiki page

How to set up

Complete this step before any of the steps below. 
wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/2013_Q4/?C=D&O=Abootstrap.cgi | bash
OMSA and firmware update packages were previously only available as 32-bit binaries, but are now available 64-bit native for x86_64 systems.
Warning: If you have a 32-bit Dell package installed (srvadmin-* dell_ie*) on your system, it continues to use the 32-bit packages. To use the 64-bit packages, uninstall the existing 32-bit packages before installing them. New installations install the architecture of OMSA that matches your operating system.

Installing OpenManage Server Administrator

NOTE: OMSA will not install on unsupported systems. If you receive a message at install that the system is not supported, it is likely that your system is not supported, and the install will fail. This is most common on SC-class systems, as OMSA is completely unsupported on these systems.

  • yum 
    yum install srvadmin-all

  • rug 
    rug install srvadmin-base
rug install srvadmin-webserver
rug install srvadmin-storageservices
    NOTE: If you want to install srvadmin-all, you have to have 'setserial' installed. I dont have the details on this, but it doesnt appear that setserial is installed by default.

  • zypper 
    zypper install srvadmin-all
