try these steps:

 

1. make sure you have a known good backup of your data

2. make sure all of your drivers and firmware are updated by using the Dell server update CD for Linux. Download it from here and burn it to a CD: ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/sysman/OM_5.1_SUU_LIN_A00.ISO

3. Once you have the CD in the CDROM drive mount it and CD into the root of the CDROM drive and run ./suu -u -installIPMI and him

4. after those updates have been applied reboot the server and CD into the directory you extracted OpenManage 5.1 into.

5. CD into linux\RPMS\supportRPMS\RH3_x86_64 and run rpm -Uvh *.rpm

6. run the following command to perform an express install:
sh linux/supportscripts/srvadmin-install.sh --express

7. when installation is complete start the applicable services by running the following command:
sh linux/supportscripts/srvadmin-services.sh start

Step 3 is not possible on the 64-bit memory architecture:

 

[root@nms1 /media/cdrom]# ./suu -u -installIPMI
Error: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 is required in order to run SUU.
Please install xorg-x11-libs-6.8.1-23.EL.i386.rpm and Re-Run SUU again!

[root@nms1 /media/cdrom]# rpm -qa | grep -i xorg-x11-libs
xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2

It's not possible to install the i386 rpm when you have the 64-bit version already installed. Or do you know a way?

 

Kind regards,

no, in this case you would run ./suu -u
