HI !

Are you sure it is not Dells little 'tweaks' to the MoBo ?

There were several issues I encountered while trying to install OMSA 5.3 on my Fedora Core 7 64-bit OS.

Update net-snmp and net-snmp-libs

The default version installed with FC7 will throw a segfault immediately after it starts because of the "smuxpeer" line which gets written by the OMSA installation in the file /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf. Update the net-snmp and net-snmp-libs packages to fix this (I'm running net-snmp-5.4-16.fc7.x86_64.rpm, and net-snmp-libs-5.4-16.fc7.x86_64.rpm)

I found the following entry in the changelog:

Tue Oct 9 00:00:00 2007 Jan Safranek 5.4-15
- License: field changed to MIT
- fix segfault on parsing smuxpeer without password (#316621)

Install compat-libstdc++ (32-bit)

Download and install compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.i386.rpm

Hack installation script

I usually just download the tar.gz from the Dell website (OM_5.3.0_ManNode_A00.tar.gz) instead of using yum update. Once the package is untarred, I just edit linux/supportscripts/srvadmin-install.sh and substitute the OS-specific version names. For example substitute "Nahant" with the name of my target OS, "Moonshine."

Once you are at this point, you should be able to install OMSA by issuing the following commands:

cd linux/supportscripts
./srvadmin-install.sh -x

Authentication

The last problem I found is that I was unable to login to the web UI. The OMSA login page was accessible via https://ip_addr:1311, but I would get an incorrect login message every time I submitted my username and password. I hacked my version of /etc/pam.d/omauth to read:

#%PAM-1.0
auth include system-auth
account include system-auth

Isaaki

I know a guy who basically writes the book on this stuff. I definately think you need to talk to him.

This guy knows his server stuff beyond belief.
