Heh. Just did it yesterday.
Here's my cookbook. It leaves out some info because it's written for me
and I know what I'm talking about ;-) If you need any clarification,
let me know.
When you're finished, you should be able to find the web interface via

installing omsa
==============
install net-snmp, net-snmp-utils then use 'chkconfig' and
'service' to
make sure it is running, and will start on subsequent boots
again, make sure snmpd is running
download the .tar.gz, e.g from dell website, for example:
OMI-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-LX-450-32-335_A00.tar.gz
untar somewhere
run installer:
sh linux/supportscripts/srvadmin-install.sh --express
you may need to install compat-libstdc++ first, which comes in the tar file:
rpm -Uvh linux/RPMS/compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2.i386.rpm
it will start automatically on reboot, but to start the first time:
srvadmin-services.sh start
configure snmp (optional)
========================
to see if dataeng has snmp support:
/etc/init.d/dataeng getsnmpstatus
if necessary, enable snmp through omsa:
/etc/init.d/dataeng enablesnmp
NOTE: please fix the email addresses in the next instruction!
setup trap handling for snmptrapd. edit /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf and add:
traphandle default /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/traptoemail -s localhost -f from at
yourdomain.com to at yourdomain.com
restart snmptrapd
service snmptrapd restart
setup local snmpd to deliver traps to localhost. edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
(probably only v2 is necessary) and add:
trapsink 127.0.0.1 public
trap2sink 127.0.0.1 public
add the mibs
find /opt/dell/ -name \*.mib -exec cp {} /usr/share/snmp/mibs \;
tell net-snmp progs to read the mibs. edit /etc/snmp/snmp.conf and add:
mibs +MIB-Dell-10892:StorageManagement-MIB
restart snmpd
service snmpd restart
