 This nudged me in the right direction. My current solution: a PXE
 bootable  Ubuntu Lucid (root on NFS) with OMSA 6.3.0 preinstalled (using
 Dell's repo) and a script that runs various omreport commands and stores
 the output on the same NFS share.

Unfortunately it is back to the drawing board for me, at least partially. As 
it turns out, the sc1425's aren't supported by OMSA 6.3.0 after all, even 
though I recall seeing sc1425 being listed as supported hardware for it.

 Thanks all for the various tips 'n pointers.

I'll have a closer look at those again to work around lack of OMSA support.

 Hello list,

 I have about 2-3 dozen servers (a mix of SC1425 and PE860) in storage. I'd
 like to have an as complete as possible inventory of what components each of
 those servers contain. I'm thinking of:
 * cpu type/model/speed/etc
 * memory (how many sticks of a certain size)
 * disks
 * raid controller present?
 * cd/dvd drive present?
 * any other info would be a nice bonus

 I just tried booting the OMSA Live cd, which after quite some boottime, and
 using omreport I was able to collect pretty much all the required info. It
 would take quite some time per server though.
 Ideally I would netboot each server into an omsa enabled environment, from
 where I could run a script which would dump all info to an usb stick (in a 
 file
 based on the server's tag).

 Anyone have some ideas on how to go about it?

 Regards,
 Ruben Laban

Did you try dmidecode? It outputs quite a lot of stuff...

HTH,
