syscfg to clear bmc log on

[Fred Skrotzki]

There is a known problem with pre OMSA 5.0 and openIPMI.  You can run
one or the other but not both without accepting "Problems". If IPMI is
loaded before OMSA OMSA has problems, sees bogus errors and reports
errors from ipmi that don't exist.  
 
If you load omsa before IPMI then some ipmitool commands don't work
right.  Both take total control of the hardware interface and don't
share with each other.  That is part of the reason why OMSA 5.0 came
out, Dell worked with the ipmi people to get what they needed
implemented in the spec and they now use the ipmi driver as a standard
instead of there own.  So both things can work nicely together.

I get a "hardware subsystem reports command failed".
These do not have a DRAC port
Version 4.5
PE2850
RHEL3 U3

I tested this version (from DiskInfo on the CD):
OMI_VOLLABEL=510NDL_354 
OMI_RELEASE=510 
OMI_BUILD=354 
OMI_ARCH=32 
OMI_VERSION_STRING=5.1.0.354 

I started ipmi "service ipmi start"; used "ipmitool sel clear" and it
worked perfect. I think its best that I uninstall the old OMSA and
re-install the latest version, unless there is another way. I have at
least 15 machines that I know of that I have to do this to.

	Hi, 

	

	1. What system is this? , Dell PowerEdge ? 

	

	2. "omconfig system esmlog action=clear" Should work. 

	 - What error does this give you?
	 - What version of OMSA is installed? 

	   - Are the OMSA services loaded?

		I found syscfg in the DTK2.1 tool kit. I want to use it
to clear  the system event log. Is there a simple way to do this without
installing everything under the sun? I extracted dell.tar.gz located
under tools on the CD. When I tried to run syscfg from the bin directory
I got a segmentation fault. I'm assuming that I have to install this so
it can find all of the components. The system that I'm running this on
is :
		2.4.21-47.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jul 5 20:38:41 EDT 2006 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux
		Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 8)
		
		The dos utility bmccfg --clearsel does the same thing
only I can't shut these down. I've also tried  "omconfig system esmlog
action=clear" but these don't have DRACs. delldset_v1.1.bin same as
omconfig error messages. Could use some help on installing this to clear
SEL.
