New OMSA install on PE T610 shows no information

Greetings -

I have had some firmware update issues on my PE T610 that I have 
discussed in another thread; however during the process of updating the 
firmware I have also run into an issue with OMSA.  I previously had a 
working version (ver. 7.4) on the server, and I had previously used the 
Dell firmware tools repository to update the firmware. Since the new 
Dell System Update (DSU) tool is now the preferred method for updating 
firmware and OMSA, I did a complete un-installation of the ServerAdmin 
packages using the steps described below.  Before uninstalling I 
confirmed that the latest OMSA version (ver. 8.2) is compatible with my 
system from the documentation 
(https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/dell-opnmang-sw-v8.2/manuals), 
specifically the OpenManage Software Support Matrix document, which 
lists the PE T610 and RHEL 6.7 as a supported hardware / software 
combination for OMSA 8.2.

Removed the existing OMSA packages.
# yum remove $(rpm -qa | grep srvadmin)

Since I know from past experience, and as advised by those more 
knowledgeable than me on this mailing list previously, this alone does 
not cleanly uninstall everything and the additional three commands were 
invoked for a completely clean un-installation.

*** Warning to others, be careful using this big hammer. ***
# rm -fr /opt/dell/srvadmin/
# rm -fr /usr/libexec/dell_dup/
# rm -fr /usr/share/firmware/dell/

Then I installed the DSU utility to setup the repository files.
# wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/bootstrap.cgi | bash

Made sure that the DSU repository was the only one enable on my system 
(after seeing some of the recent discussion on this mailing list).  The 
installed the Dell system update software, and OMSA.
# yum install dell-system-update
# yum install srvadmin-all

I checked to make sure that the services I expected to see were 
installed and running.  They were not running, so I started them via my 
Webmin interface.  When I navigated to OMSA web interface and logged in, 
I was greeted with no information listed, except for a list of the OMSA 
software installed.  Both the Main Chassis and Storage categories in the 
listing tree are blank.  I know there have been issues in the past with 
the Storage category being blank, but I don't recall seeing an issue 
with both the Main Chassis and Storage not having any information.  So I 
am looking to others, or the Dell representatives, for ideas how to 
address this issue.  I would like to have a working OMSA back again.

Note:  I am running CentOS 6.7 and I have modified /etc/redhat-release 
so that it shows Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.7 
(Santiago).  This change is all that has been necessary in the past to 
run OMSA on CentOS.

Please cc me directly with any responses, as I only receive the daily 
digest of this mailing list.  Thanks.

Jeff
