DELL OpenManage Integration Virtual Appliance update problems

Hi everybody,

I'm running VMware vSphere ESXi on many of our DELL servers. We're using the DELL OpenManage Integration Virtual Appliance to expand the functionality of our VMware vCenter Server. As some of you might know you can use the appliance to update firmware versions and check warranty information.

Recently I had problems with updating the CentOS Linux-based appliance. Maybe somebody of you is having the same issue - so I documented it. Just wanted to share this with you:
