Dell OMSA on RH 2.1

[Jonas Blåberg]

Hello!
 
We have been using an old version of Dell OMSA on RH 2.1 AS since the machines were installed. The version used is 1.6.0 (the tgz package is named 3.6).
 
 
So I downloaded the latest supported for RH 2.1 from Dell's download pages which is 4.3 (when installed it says 2.0.0) and installed it with srvadmin-install.sh -dsw. 
 
But when trying to start it using srvadmin-services.sh start, dcstor32d says FAILED but processes are running, and nothing seems to be working. The omaws32 process is not listening to port 1311, so I am not able to check what is working and what is not. 
 
When stopping the agent the processes die, some pid files are usually left in /var/run, and semaphores created are not cleaned up (I have to ipcrm them manually).
 
 
I have also tried to install Dell OMSA 4.2 (which says 1.9.2 with omreport system version) with identical problems.
 
 
I know the operating system patch level is a little bit low, but at least we have patched the kernel to 2.4.9-e.68. Since this is an Oracle RAC production system I don't want to just try any applicable patch - I need a hint of where the problem could be located when behaving like this... I guess the semaphores could be the key but since they are part of the kernel that could not be the whole solution.
 
Regards
