Hi Everyone, I have a Xen host (Xen 3.4.2) which is running CentOS 5.5 Dom0. I wish to install Dell OpenManage to get a nice web interface with hardware status. Do I need to do anything special to get this working on a Xen host? Or does it work out of the box? The reason why I''m asking, instead of trying, is that my server is currently on its way to a colo, and I won''t have access to it for a few days. Many Thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Linux 5.3, similar to Centos, and it is working fine. My servers are still running the xen 3.1.2 that comes with the distro. Whatever you do, however, don''t attempt to install openmanage in the domU and run it--it makes some nasty hardware calls that can crash not only the domU but the underlying dom0.

Hi Florin, What steps did you take to install it? Did it work without any problems? Would it be able to email me if something went wrong? And is it able to monitor my H200 controller?

It did resize a RAID5 container "live" without any glitch. Actually - since I have mostly Dell boxes - OMSA 6.2 is now part of the default install for any Dell box. Keep in mind that you might have some issues with clustering since there is a conflict with tog-pegasus which needs to be removed prior of the install.

Jonathan, I did a yum remove tog-pegasus first Then I have basically followed the instructions from http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/ wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi | bash yum install srvadmin-all and be sure you open port 1311 if you want web access from exterior. I have H700 controllers, and it is working just fine. Florin BTW, it seems that v6.3 will be out soon. ________________________________ From: Jonathan Tripathy [mailto:jonnyt@abpni.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2010 10:06 AM To: Petrescu, Florin; Xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Dell OpenManage Hi Florin, What steps did you take to install it?

Excellent! I will try that when I go to the colo to install the server. The only thing that worries me is that apperently this can crash an entire system if run from a DomU. Of course, I''m not going to try that, but what if a malicious user did..... ________________________________ From: Petrescu, Florin [mailto:fpetrescu@radonc.wustl.edu] Sent: Thu 08/07/2010 16:37 To: Jonathan Tripathy; Xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Dell OpenManage Jonathan, I did a yum remove tog-pegasus first Then I have basically followed the instructions from http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/ wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi | bash yum install srvadmin-all and be sure you open port 1311 if you want web access from exterior.
