hi
we  have same problem here with centos 6.4 and Redhat 6.4
the only solution , I found is to reboot with older kernel (2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64)

the last kernel : 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 seems to have a bug with IPMI

good luck

in my case , after I completed the installation of RHEL 6.4 , I installed OM 7.2 using Dell repository , but same as you , my OM didn't start perfectly.
I tried to update all firmwares with Dell repository , but still bugging .
I checked grub , and the server used last newer kernel  2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64
so I modified grub.conf (just changed default 0 to default 1) for start with older kernel  (2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64)
After reboot , I could use Omsa without error.

So , I conclude , the last newer Kernel ( 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64) have a trouble with OMSA.

so I suggest you to restart your server with older kernel.

hi

We found another way to issue this problem , we tested it without error.
we found here :
https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhelv6-list/2013-February/msg00045.html

so simple , why I didn't find more quickly !!!   :P

Try the following to get OMSA working:

yum install OpenIPMI
chkconfig ipmi on
service ipmi start
srvadmin-services.sh restart

Hope can help you too

I found this corrected the issue as well (just installing the OpenIPMI package, nothing else) but when I removed the ipmi package it still worked. I notice our other servers do not have OpenIPMI installed, but it seems to trigger something in the omsa software when it's installed and when removed it still holds true.

The instructions work very well. However, it is not needed to actuall start the ipmi service. The main thing is in the dependenciees of the OpenIPMI service that apparently fix the problem. I installed OpenIPMI and restarted the service and it simplyworked.

The output of yum was as follows:

 Installing : lm_sensors-libs-3.1.1-17.el6.x86_64                                                                      1/4

 Installing : 1:net-snmp-libs-5.5-44.el6_4.1.x86_64                                                                    2/4

 Installing : OpenIPMI-libs-2.0.16-14.el6.x86_64                                                                       3/4

 Installing : OpenIPMI-2.0.16-14.el6.x86_64                                                                            4/4
