Dell Remote Assistant Card II (DRAC II), v. 1.0, A00-00

INSTALLING THE OMSASYNC UTILITY FOR WINDOWS NT/2000

NOTE: This section describes a process of "installing" the OMSASyncUtility
program by manually copying the file "OMSASync.exe" to a system. The
OMSASync Utility is also typically installed along with the installation
of DRAC software version 2.3.1 (or greater), so a version
of "OMSASync.exe" may already exist on a system.

1. Log in as "administrator."

2. Only install OMSASync if the DRAC server agents software already
exists on the system.

A simple way to check for the DRAC server agents software is to search the
system for the file "RacConf.exe." If it exists, it will most likely be in
a directory such as:

c:\Program Files\dell\OpenManage\Drac\server

If "RacConf.exe" exists on the system, then proceed to Step 3.

Otherwise, do not copy "OMSASync.exe" to your system. You are finished. Go
to Step 5.

3. Check whether an existing version of the file "OMSASync.exe" already
exists on the system.

Again, if it exists, it will most likely be a directory such as:

c:\Program Files\dell\OpenManage\Drac\server

If a copy of "OMSASync.exe" does already exist on the system, go to Step 4.

Otherwise, if a copy of "OMSASync.exe" does not currently exist on the
system, then copy the "OMSASync.exe" file in this package to the directory
where the DRAC server agent software resides. You are finished. Go to
Step 5.

4. Compare versions.

Check the "Properties" of both "OMSASync.exe" files. For each file:
a. Right-click on the file.
b. Click "Properties."
c. Click the "Version" tab.

The "File version:" will display as something like: "n.n.mmmm.0"
where "n.n" is the version of the file and "mmmm" is the build number of
the file.

If the version (including the build number) of the file from this package
is greater than the version of the file that currently exists on the
system, copy the file from the package over the existing file. You are
finished. Go to Step 5.

Otherwise, if the version of the file from this package is not greater
than the version of the file that currently exists on the system, then do
not copy the file from the package over the existing file. You are
finished. Go to Step 5.

5. In all cases, there is no need to reboot the system.


INSTALLING THE OMSASYNC UTILITY FOR LINUX

1. Log in as "root".

This login is a requirement for RPM installation. The installation
utilizes an RPM file. Go to http://rpmdp.org/rpmbook/ for information on
RPM files and how to use them.

2. Install or update the OMSASync Utility RPM by typing the following at
the command prompt:

rpm -U dellomsa-omsasync-1.0-zzzz.i386.rpm

Do not reboot the system.

3. To see that the OMSASync Utility is installed, type the following at
the command prompt:

rpm -qa | grep -i omsasync

You should see output similar to the following:

dellomsa-omsasync-1.0-zzzz


Executing the OMSASync Utility

1. Log in as "root".

2. Get usage and help for utility commands by typing the following at the
command prompt:

/usr/sbin/omsasync -h

If your "PATH" environment variable includes the directory /user/sbin, you
can type only the following:

omsasync -h

3. Execute the OMSASync Utility by typing the following at the command
prompt:

/usr/sbin/omsasync

If your "PATH" environment variable includes the directory /user/sbin, you
can type only the following:

omsasync

By default, the verbose level is set to "0" and you will not see any
output.

4. Execute the OMSASync Utility with a verbose level of "2" by typing the
following at the command prompt:

/usr/sbin/omsasync -v2

If your "PATH" environment variable includes the directory /user/sbin, you
may type only the following:

omsasync -v2

You should see output similar to the following:
