Linux OMSA - Firmware Updates OME 2.1

Hey,


i have Linux Servers with OMSA installed and want to make some Firmware/Biosupdates through OME 2.1.

What ist working:

 - I embedded the Linux Servers with SNMP in OME and they are listed in OME in a correct way

- I used the Troubleshooting Tool to connect to my Linux Server to Upload one File to the Server (In-band Update Test). This ist also working

- I can see many different updates for the Servers


What is not working:


- After the package ist downloaded, the update process hangs at 0 percent and gives a timeout  error.


What is wrong?

Maybe this ist not the problem, but for my general understanding:


I configured SNMP following this post:

http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/f/4494/t/19425042

It is posted there:

"The changes setup OMSA communication with the SNMP agent and give read-only access to the entire MIB tree to the public community"

with smuxpeer .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1


Do i need to set this to read/write? And if yes, how?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi,

The user through which you are trying to update the Linux server, does it have root privilege on the server?

Yes, the user is listed in the sudoers file.

On the local machine: sudo dsu --inventory is working


What about the open ports on the OME server?

- i have open

TCP: 21,22,1278,1279, 2607

UDP: 162


Is there anything missing?

Hi,

Couple of things:

  • Is it SLES 11? If yes, then Issue 54 in ReadMe of OME might be helpful for you.
  • Can you check the sudoers file and make sure that the sudo user has privilege to execute a file? The text should be something like this:

      • For target systems running 32-bit operating systems: Cmnd_Alias OMEUPDATE = /bin/tar, /opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/omexec,/tmp/LinuxPreInstallPackage/runbada,/tmp/LinuxPreInstallPackage/omexec ALL=OMEUPDATE, NOPASSWD:OMEUPDATE

 

      • For target systems running 64-bit operating systems: Cmnd_Alias OMEUPDATE = /bin/tar, /opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/omexec,/tmp/LinuxPreInstallPackage64/runbada,/tmp/LinuxPreInstallPackage64/omexec ALL=OMEUPDATE, NOPASSWD:OMEUPDATE

You should be able to perform system update with sudo user with these settings.
