Just purchased a new R610 for running Proxmox 2.0RC1, but I needed a way to get OpenManage on there.
I followed a sara.nl link page to get an old version of OMSA installed. It worked great minus the small problem of not having a storage controller available. Apparently the new PERC6i controller requires OMSA 6.3 or higher. Well, I may as well go with 6.5. Fortunately for me, Dell finally released both Ubuntu 10.04 and Debian 6 binaries AND install instructions. I had to alter them a little bit for my prox environment, so here goes:
aptitude update
aptitude full-upgrade
reboot
echo 'deb http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/deb/latest /' | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linux.dell.com.sources.list
gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key E74433E25E3D7775
gpg -a --export E74433E25E3D7775 | apt-key add -
apt-get update --allow-unauthenticated
apt-get install srvadmin-all
service dataeng start
service dsm_om_connsvc start
To get this to auto start on reboot: update-rc.d dsm_om_connsvc defaults
https://ipofserver:1311
Login as root and your root password.
If you receive an error with apt-get update –allow-unauthenticated, all I did was cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linux.dell.com.sources.list and then re-run the command.
