OMSA on CentOS/RHEL 7
Hello all!
I want to get OMSA work on my old PowerEdge 2950 server. OMSA 7 works well with CentOS 6, will it be available on CentOS 7 too?
Thanks.

I beg to differ:
www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails
It appears that version 7.4.1 supports 12g (and earlier?) hardware and RHEL 7 as of November 21.

Hello
OMSA is available for RHEL 7:
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=55XM0
RHEL 7 only appears to be a supported operating system on our 13g product line. The version of OMSA that works on RHEL 7 is not supported on anything except 13g products.
I'm not aware of any plans to add support for RHEL 7 on older products.
Thanks

Martin,
OpenManage 741 supports 12G for RHEL7. But I am not sure if PowerEdge 2950 (9G) supports RHEL7 as such from the Operating system perspective. I also doubt that OM741 might not install on 9G/10G servers,
Thanks

I was able to "trick" OMSA 740 into installing on my PowerEdge 2950 running CentOS 7. I had to modify the .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d
The .repo file was generated "correctly" from the bootstrap installer at linux.dell.com, however this left it looking for a branch of the repository that doesn't exist, so I replaced "el$releasever" with "el6" and ran "yum clean all"
Keep in mind that this is a hack, and even though it seems to work for me right now, it might break sometime in the future.
I also find that I have to manually install some 32bit libraries in order to make OMSA services start with no error messages on 64bit Linux: glibc.i686 zlib.i686 libxml2.i686 libxslt.i686 libstdc++.i686 compat-libstdc++-33.i686
