Install and deploy OMSA on a Linux Server

Preface

This section describes how to deploy and install OMSA on a Linux (RHEL6.4 x86_64) server, including how to obtain and install the OMSA software.

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 required installation packages for OMSA installation have been installed, including:

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

Sblim-sfcb also requires a prerequisite package

Cim-schema

In addition, you may need to install

Libxslt

Run the following command to install libxslt)

Yum install libcmpiCppImpl0Libwsman1Sblim-sfcbSblim-sfccOpenwsman-clientOpenwsman-server

Or run it in the Packages directory of the RHEL installation disc.

Rpm-ivhLibcmpiCppImpl0Libwsman1Sblim-sfcbSblim-sfccOpenwsman-clientOpenwsman-server cim-schema(Abbreviated here, Please consciously use the full name of the rpm package, including the version number)

For example, the screenshot is installed using yum. Enter "y" and press enter to complete the installation. (Note: cim-schema is automatically added to yum)

After installing the prerequisite installation package, we will introduce two common methods for obtaining and installing OMSA:

Method 1: Install OMSA on an Internet-connected RHEL Server

1. log on 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 the yum repository of Dell OpenManage.

The wget-q-O-http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi | bash

Check the results, we can see that the Linux server has an additional yum repository configuration file:/etc/yum. repos. d/dell-omsa-repository.repo

We also noticed that it will install four rpm installation packages in the yum repository of the newly configured Dell OpenManage:

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

3. Now you can install OMSA through yum repository of Dell OpenManage. The command is as follows:

Yum install srvadmin-all

If yum is correctly configured, yum checks its Dependencies even if it forgets to install the OMSA prerequisite package. In this step, it automatically adds and installs the package. When a confirmation prompt is displayed, select "y" and press Enter.

4. if our Linux Server is a 64-bit operating system, such as RHEL 6.4 x86_64 in this example, and we also need to use Dell OpenManage essento manage the server, then we need to install another rpm package: srvadmin-cm. Srvadmin-cm is used with Dell OpenManage essenessento clear and update the system.

Currently, we only provide a 32-bit version, so the installation in the previous step does not include it. We recommend that you run the following command for installation (and install the necessary 32-bit Library Program ).

If you do not use OpenManage essenessen, you can skip the installation steps.

First install the 32-bit 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. Run the following command to start the OMSA service:

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

6. Now, OMSA is installed on a Linux server over the Internet.

Tip: The OMSA version in yum repositor may be different from the version Update Time released on the official website. In this example, the yum version is OMSA v7.3, and the latest patch v7.3.0.1 has been released on the official website. If you download and install the latest patch, see Step 2 in method 2.
