Re: New OMSA install on PE T610 shows no information

Hi Jeff,

Thanks Jeff for the update on this. Ideally, system reboot is not required to start Server administrator services successfully. Did you try to start services manually before rebooting the server?

Regards
Chandra

Chandrasekhar -

I didn't see that one when I checking to make sure the appropriate services were started.  That one was listed to start on boot, but was otherwise not started.  I had not rebooted the system after installing OMSA from DSU.  A reboot would have started everything correctly.  Everything appears to be running correctly now.  Thanks.

Hi Jeff,

Based on the issue, most likely Data Manager service is not running successfully on the server. Kindly run the following command to see the Data Manager service status and also observe the /var/log/messages if there are any errors/crashes reported during Server Administrator services start up.


To see the service status:

/etc/init.d/dataeng status

To Start or restart

/etc/init.d/dataeng start/restart



Regards

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
