OMSA yum repository on FC5

Further comments...

1. "which" should be added as a dependency to the srvadmin-cm RPM.

Starting omsad results in the following output:

[root at tollerton init.d]# service omsad start
Starting OM Common Services:                               [  OK  ]
[root at tollerton init.d]# /etc/delloma.d/oma/../cm/invcol/invcol: line
164: which: command not found
invcol Error: Cannot find utilities on the system to execute Inventory
Collector.
Make sure the following utilities are in the path: tar gzip tail rm
mkdir chmod ls basename wc

This is because I didn't have "which" installed

2. instsvcdrv has a whole raft of dependencies which are not listed in
the RPMS:

gcc, make, kernel[-smp]-devel

3. I've installed all dependencies (I think) and am trying to start
instsvcdrv. Here's the output:

[root at tollerton init.d]# service instsvcdrv start
Starting Systems Management Device Drivers:

See /var/log/dcdbas.log for output from modprobe.

4. Starting omsad gives the following error:

[root at tollerton init.d]# service omsad start
Starting OM Common Services:                               [  OK  ]
[root at tollerton init.d]# invcol Error: extract(): Unable to create
temporary files. Please ensure that there is enough space in the tmp folder.

Not sure why this is - plenty of space in /tmp, and permissions are 777.
Unless it's trying to write somewhere else?

That's it for now - more as I get further...
