Dell OMSA Installing the deployment on a Linux server

Objective

This page details the common practices for deploying OMSA on a Linux (RHEL6.4 x86_64) server, including the method of obtaining OMSA software and installation steps.

Demo Environment:

PowerEdge R620, RHEL 6.4 x86_64

Installation of the associated installation package required by OMSA

Before installing OMSA, we must ensure that some of the prerequisite installation packages required for the OMSA installation have been installed, including:

LibcmpiCppImpl0
Libwsman1
Sblim-sfcb
Sblim-sfcc
Openwsman-client
Openwsman-server

Where SBLIM-SFCB also needs a prerequisite package

Cim-schema

In addition, you may also need to install

Libxslt

We can use the following command to install (assuming LIBXSLT has been installed)

Yum Install libcmpiCppImpl0 Libwsman1 SBLIM-SFCB SBLIM-SFCC openwsman-client Openwsman-server

or run from the Rhel installation CD packages directory

RPM-IVH libcmpiCppImpl0 libwsman1 sblim-sfcb sblim-sfcc openwsman-client openwsman-server Cim-schema (abbreviated here, please consciously use RPM package full name, including version number)

For example, use Yum to install the screenshot, enter "Y", and enter to complete the installation (Note: Yum automatically added Cim-schema)

After installing the prerequisite installation package, let's cover two common ways to get and install Omsa:

Method One: Install OMSA on a Rhel server with an Internet connection

1. Log in to the managed Liunx host as an administrator and run the following command to confirm Internet connectivity

Ping-c 4 linux.dell.com

2. Run the following command to set up the Yum repository for Dell OpenManage

Wget-q-o-http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi | Bash

Check the results and see a more Yum repository configuration file on the Linux server:/etc/yum.repos.d/dell-omsa-repository.repo

At the same time we note that it will also install 4 RPM packages from the new configuration of the Yum repository in Dell OpenManage:

Yum-dellsysid
Libsmbios
Python-smbios
Smbios-utils-python

3. It is now possible to install OMSA via the Yum repository of Dell OpenManage, with the following command:

Yum Install Srvadmin-all

Here, if Yum is properly configured, even if you forget to install the OMSA prerequisite package, yum will check dependencies on its own, and automatically add the installation in this step, when prompted to confirm, select "Y" and enter

4. If our Linux server is a 64-bit operating system, such as the Rhel 6.4 x86_64 for this example, and we also need to use Dell OpenManage Essentials to manage the server, Then we need to install one more RPM package: srvadmin-cm. SRVADMIN-CM is an inventory with Dell OpenManage Essentials and updates the system.

Because we currently only provide a 32-bit version, the previous step of the installation does not include it. We recommend that you run the following instructions to install (and also install the necessary 32-bit library programs to support them).

Users who do not use OpenManage Essentials can skip the installation involved in this step

First install the 32-bit version of zlib, compat-libstdc++, libstdc++ and LIBXML2 library programs

Yum install zlib.i686 compat-libstdc++-33.i686 libstdc++.i686 libxml2.i686

Then install the SRVADMIN-CM package

Yum Install srvadmin-cm

5. Start the OMSA service with the following command:

/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/srvadmin-services.sh start

6. This completes the installation of OMSA on a Linux server over the Internet.

Friendly tip: The Omsa version of Yum Repositor may differ from the version update time published on the website. In this case, Yum installs the version of Omsa v7.3, the official website has been out of the latest patch v7.3.0.1, please note. If you download, install the latest patch, see method two steps.

Method Two: Install Omsa locally on the Rhel server

On Linux servers that do not have an Internet connection, we need to download the OMSA installation package to the server for local installation.

Download of OMSA Software

1. Visit the official website of Dell Technical Support: HTTP://WWW.DELL.COM/SUPPORT/HOME/CN/ZH/CNBSD1?C=CN&L=ZH&S=BSD, product category Select servers, storage, and networking devices

2. Select "PowerEdge"--"PowerEdge R620" to enter the product support page of the R620 server and select the "Drivers and downloads" tab

3. This example operating system select "RedHat Enterprise Linux 6", and then pull down the scroll bar to the "System Management" section, download the corresponding Omsa v7.3 (RHEL 6 64bit), the file name " Om-srvadmin-dell-web-lx-7.3.0-350_a00. RHEL6.x86_64.tar.gz ", as well as patch v7.3.0.1, filename" OM_RHEL6.tar.gz "

4. Install the package "om-srvadmin-dell-web-lx-7.3.0-350_a00. RHEL6.x86_64.tar.gz "is uploaded to the/tmp directory of the Linux server. Log on to the Linux server as an administrator, enter the/tmp directory, unzip the installation package. The command is as follows

Cd/tmp
TAR-XVF om-srvadmin-dell-web-lx-7.3.0-350_a00. RHEL6.x86_64.tar.gz

5. At this point, the/tmp directory to generate the installation package extracted from the installation file directory, into the installation script directory, run the installation script "srvadmin-install.sh". The command is as follows

cd/tmp/linux/supportscripts/
./srvadmin-install.sh

6. Press space to read the software agreement and enter "Y", and enter agree

7. In the OMSA component installation Options menu, enter "10" and return to select Install all

8. Confirm that all options are checked, then enter "I" and return to the installation

Tip, if the pre-requisite installation package is not already installed, the installation script will automatically exit and give the following error prompt. We can follow the prompts to install all necessary pre-requisite installation packages.

9. Static OMSA installation process completed. If the screen prompts you to start the OMSA service, enter "Y" to confirm and enter

10. The local installation OMSA successfully completed, confirm the service and start as follows

11. If our Linux server is a 64-bit operating system, such as the Rhel 6.4 x86_64 for this example, and we also need to use Dell OpenManage Essentials to manage the server, Then we need to install one more RPM package: srvadmin-cm. SRVADMIN-CM is an inventory with Dell OpenManage Essentials and updates the system.

Because we currently only provide a 32-bit version, the previous step of the installation does not include it. We recommend that you run the following instructions to install (and also install the necessary 32-bit library programs to support them).

Users who do not use OpenManage Essentials can skip the installation involved in this step

First install the 32-bit version of zlib, compat-libstdc++, libstdc++ and LIBXML2 library programs

Yum install zlib.i686 compat-libstdc++-33.i686 libstdc++.i686 libxml2.i686

Then install the following

Cd/tmp/linux/rpms/supportrpms/srvadmin/rhel6/x86_64
RPM-IVH srvadmin-cm-7.3.0-350.i386.rpm
/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/srvadmin-services.sh restart

12. Finally, hit the Omsa latest patch v7.3.0.1. Upload the previously downloaded patch file (OM_RHEL6.tar.gz) to the server's/tmp/om_patch directory and unzip it. The command line is as follows:

Cd/tmp/om_patch
TAR-XVF OM_RHEL6.tar.gz

13. Run the patch installation Script "setup.sh" in the/tmp/om_patch directory. The program will automatically restart OMSA related services. At this point, all steps are completed

Installation confirmation for OMSA

1. Also use a Windows client, open IE, enter the https://hostname or IP address in the Address bar: 1311, follow the prompts to enter the Linux server administrator user name (root) + password. Confirm successful entry into the OMSA Management console and view information about the server successfully
