My colleague Jean-Marie de Boer found a workaround by tweaking the repo fil=
e to point it to a slightly different location:

[root@somewhere ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/dell-omsa-repository.repo
[dell-omsa-indep]
name=3DDell OMSA repository - Hardware independent
baseurl=3Dhttps://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/DSU_22.08.12/os_dependent/RH=
EL7_64/
gpgcheck=3D0
gpgkey=3Dhttp://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/RPM-GPG-KEY-dell
       http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/RPM-GPG-KEY-libsmbios
enabled=3D1
failover=3Dpriority

[dell-omsa-specific]
name=3DDell OMSA repository - Hardware specific
baseurl=3Dhttps://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/DSU_22.08.12/os_dependent/RH=
EL7_64/
gpgcheck=3D0
gpgkey=3Dhttp://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/RPM-GPG-KEY-dell
       http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/RPM-GPG-KEY-libsmbios
enabled=3D1
failover=3Dpriority

After that, I was able to `yum install srvadmin-all`.

Hope this helps anyone. Disclaimer: this appears to work but don=92t blame =
me or my colleague if anything goes wrong.

Cheers,
Onno

The support matrix still has Rhel7 listed as a supported OS on the poweredg=
e platform

https://linux.dell.com/files/supportmatrix/

So why not omsa?
Dropping support for Omsa without an announcement seems very bad form. (I'v=
e searched and can't find it, can anyone?)

Wait.  What?  RHEL 7 is still a supported operating system by Red Hat.  Why=
 would Dell do this?

Dell: Please can someone with an @dell.com email address give us some infor=
mation?

I've opened a support case about this (#150999357). It turns out, Dell no l=
onger supports OpenManage on RHEL 7 and compatible systems.

I'm quite disappointed. We're now faced with the choice of not keeping syst=
ems up-to-date, or a lot of work upgrading them to EL8 or EL9, while RedHat=
 still supports EL7 until the end of 2024.

Kind regards,
Onno
