omreport unable to see storage controller on dell r410
Hopefully someone has the same environment as I do. I am running debian Squeeze using a bleeding edge kernel 3.1.0 on a dell r410 and apparently omreport cannot locate the storage controller. The following is my environment:
Linux newkerneltest 3.1.0-rc7-hw+ #41 SMP Thu Sep 22 18:39:02 CDT 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
debian version: 6.0.2
./srvadmin-services.sh status
dell_rbu (module) is running
ipmi driver is running
dsm_sa_datamgrd (pid 6253) is running
dsm_sa_eventmgrd (pid 6463) is running
dsm_sa_snmpd (pid 6527) is running
dpkg -l | grep srvadmin

Anyone using a bleeding edge kernel like above? The latest kernel this was working on is 2.6.38

None so far. I too installed the latest dataeng and tried on a dell r410 and r710 and just for kicks tried a dell 2950 and same thing. Looks like according to mknod, the position of ipmi is in a different place on the new kernel. So far, since this kernel is too bleeding edge, no one has even attempted to install dellomsa.

Have you found a workaround for this? Even the newest dataeng will not work :/

This is getting rather ridiculous that OpenManage hasn't been updated for v3 kernels. They have been out for a while now. Come on, Dell.

Their is a workaround that will get openmanage to start properly. Essentially, just install uname26 (package that masks the 3.X kernel to look like 2.6.X) and hack away at the openmanage init script so that it looks at uname26 binary instead of uname. I have it working on 3.X kernels now.
Unfortunately, dell really only supports RHEL but even then supporting a 3.X kernel should be in their best interest. My guess is most enterprise used Linux distro's are not releasing 3.X kernels into the mainstream just yet.

Where do you get uname26 package? apt-cache search isn't showing it, nor is packages.debian.org. Thanks.

I got it and compiled it, but I honestly do not understand what I'm supposed to do to use it or how to modify the init scripts. Can you give me an example of what you did in your init scripts?

it doesn't exist, I had to build it as a deb package manually and add it to our internal repo. but you can go to the following URL and compile it from source:
mirror.linux.org.au/.../uname26
With the files from the URL listed above you can build your own deb or rpm package if you need to add this to your own repo's.
