I wanted the Dell scripts to start the IPMI driver… If you edit instsvcdrv in /etc/rc.d/init.d on line 343 & change “Nahant” to “CentOS” it should work. Enjoy!

In OM 5.1 you can add 2 lines to setup.sh around line 2802.

Check the snippet below

GetOSType()
{
# Set default values for return variables.
GBL_OS_TYPE=${GBL_OS_TYPE_UKNOWN}
GBL_OS_TYPE_STRING=”UKNOWN”

# Added the 2 below, which overrides the ones above /Stefan
GBL_OS_TYPE=${GBL_OS_TYPE_RHEL4}
GBL_OS_TYPE_STRING=”RHEL4″

# Local variable.
local LOC_VERSION=”"

Hello,

I’ve got a PowerEdge 1850 with CentOS 4.4 running on it so this topic is perfect!

I’ve downloaded OMSA and I’m going to edit the setup.sh in order to use RHEL4 by default. I’m sorry for my stupid question but where does we change this value ?! Thanks for your answer.

Regards,

James.

Hmmm… I used this package:

OM_5.1_ManNode_LIN_A00.tar.gz

The version 5.1 indicates it is even a later version than yours?

I think Dell have been changing things, as there is no setup.sh any more.

Using OMI-50-MN-LX_A01.tar.gz from Dell’s support site, I get the following when I try to install the CLI tool:
error: Failed dependencies:
net-snmp = 5.0.1-6 conflicts with srvadmin-deng-5.0.0-490.i386

Which disagrees with your install procedure. I haven’t found a solution yet (and I shouldn’t have to uninstall a working snmp engine to get Dell’s tools to work), and Google isn’t being very useful. Hopefully you have better luck than me!
