RE: OpenManage and OpenSuse 11
Hi All, The yum repo bootstrap script looks for the presence of certain rpms to determine if you are on suse: sles-release, sled-release, or suse-release. It uses the version of that rpm to get you the right repo, sles 10 or sles 11. I don't know if or what OMSA might check to see if you are using suse, and what version. SLES 11 was not supported in OMSA 5.5, you'll need 6.1. I assume OpenSuse 11.1 would be the same. -Jeff > -Original Message- > From: linux-poweredge-boun...@dell.com > [mailto:linux-poweredge-boun...@dell.com] On Behalf Of Tino Schwarze > Sent: Thursday, November 05, 2009 3:44 PM > To: linux-poweredge-Lists > Subject: Re: OpenManage and OpenSuse 11 > > On Thu, Nov 05, 2009 at 01:35:28PM -0800, Linda A.

I went from: Welcome to openSUSE 11.1 - Kernel \r (\l). to: Welcome to openSUSE 11.0 - Kernel \r (\l). I looked at the script source and it allowed Suse enterprise a well as openSUSE. So I just knocked down the point part, since 11.1 is 99.9% compatible with 11.1. You still have to load the 32bit pam but I think it was because a deprecated module was still in pam32 and not in pam64, but I don't remember the module name off hand...as when I did it, I was working interactively with a Dell support rep who was helping me to get it to work. I basically just called my Gold/Platinum tech support number and kept on them until they made it work. In my case, I couldn't resize a RAID array off the PERC controller -- a "promised feature" and needed feature. I was astonished that it wasn't doable in the BIOS...but NOT! OMSA was the only tool they had to make it work. So, they were committed to getting OMSA work to support the advertised features of the system. I don't have software support. Before me, they didn't even have OMSA 6.0 available for SUSE available for download (latest for SUSE was 5.5, which doesn't work with the PE610/710 generation machines. ___ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq

I'm running OMSA 6.x on OpenSUSE 11.1 as well and I did not fiddle anything - just installed the RPMs and they worked. I wouldn't expect any program to look into /etc/issue at all - it's a message for users. Maybe you mean /etc/SuSE-release? (Which is the default one here as well).

Re: OpenManage and OpenSuse 11
Thanks for the suggestion, but installation isn't the problem. Already read those instruction. It is installed fine, just the web interface won't work in spite of the status messages...

OpenManage and OpenSuse 11
OpenManage 5.5 web interface doesn't run on OpenSuse 11 (you may handle it like Suse 11 if you like). It installs fine, but the web part does not run. -command "omreport about" works -"/etc/init.d/dsm_om_connsvc status" displays "running" -"natstat -nat" doesn't display a row with port 1311 so clearly the service isn't up and running. Problem seems similar to this one: http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2008-October/037482.html So what can I try or how do I debug this? Thanks!
