Glad to see I am not the only person with this problem.
Dell have provided this workaround, I have tried it, and it works.
Regardding the Datamanager taking too long to boot, we have found this issue when we install OMSA on a Server that has “SQL Server Integration Services”. Reason for the delay is the race condition which prevents command reaching the storlib. There is a race condition between the SQL integration service and DSM data manager service.
To avoid this a dependency can be created as per the below Microsoft knowledgebase. This will prevent from this condition.
Thanks for the information. Did Dell support supply you with a step by step or did they only direct you to this KB? If they provided a step by step, would you mind posting it here? I could really use it.
I encountered this same issue with DSM SA Data Manager from Dell OpenManage 6.2 taking ~10 minutes to start up, getting in the way of all sorts of other services including firewall and remote desktop.
I'm not running SQL Server but it appears a similar race condition was triggered with another 3rd-party service, in this case a "watch folder" style process. Making that service dependent on DSM SA Data Manager with the instructions above was a sufficient workaround to get things back on track.

There is no eta of a genuine fix, so we'll have to make do with the workaround for now I guess.
