Success. I finally got all this stuff working. Here's the sequence I had to follow: (The Dell RPM already configured.) /usr/bin/yum clean all /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/srvadmin-uninstall.sh -f /bin/rpm --erase $( /bin/rpm -qa | /bin/grep srvadmin ) ipmitool OpenIPMI /bin/rpm --erase $( /bin/rpm -qa | /bin/grep -i ipmi ) /bin/rm -rf /opt/dell/srvadmin reboot /usr/bin/yum -y install OpenIPMI reboot /usr/bin/yum -y install srvadmin-all reboot /usr/bin/yum -y install ipmitool reboot This sequence is possibly longer than it needs to be (i.e. the reboots) but I got it all working and I wasn't going to mess with success, time was/is critical. What seems to have been critical is the sequence of installation of the three key pieces. I still want to know *WHY* the sequence was an issue. -- << MCT >> Michael C Tiernan. xmpp:mtier...@mit.edu MIT - Laboratory for Nuclear Science - http://www.lns.mit.edu High Perf Research Computing Facility at The Bates Linear Accelerator "Bit-smashing your bits better than anyone can!"
