Debian GNU/Linux & Dell OMSA

[Nuno Jordão]

Hello,

The startup /etc/init.d/instsvcdrv script loads the ipmi modules but doesn't
start the dcdbas one. Anyway I tried starting it up manually and then
restarted the services. The result was the same:

fasteste1:~# lsmod | grep ipmi
ipmi_devintf            8392  2
ipmi_si                33612  1
ipmi_msghandler        31968  2 ipmi_devintf,ipmi_si
fasteste1:~# lsmod | grep bas
dcdbas                  7872  1
fasteste1:~# ps -ef | grep dell
root     11145     1  0 15:31 ?        00:00:00
/opt/dell/srvadmin/dataeng/bin/dsm_sa_datamgr32d
root     11183     1  0 15:32 ?        00:00:00
/opt/dell/srvadmin/dataeng/bin/dsm_sa_eventmgr32d
root     11193     1  0 15:32 ?        00:00:00
/opt/dell/srvadmin/dataeng/bin/dsm_sa_snmp32d
root     11219 11011  0 15:32 pts/0    00:00:00 grep dell
fasteste1:~# omreport chassis

fasteste1:~#

Is anything missing? I think the dcdbas I'm running is not the one that
comes in the package but the one that comes bundled in the kernel. Anyway,
the version appears to be the same:

	dcdbas dcdbas: Dell Systems Management Base Driver (version 5.6.0-2)


Shouldn't the /etc/init.d/instsvcdrv compile (if necessary) and start the
dcdbas that comes in the package?

Cumprimentos,

Nuno,

in order for 'omreport chassis' to work the following have to be installed
and loaded:
dcdbas kernel module
ipmi kernel modules
openipmi

also check that the omsa dataengine is running!

Hello,

I tried these Dell OMSA packages in a Debian testing with stock kernel
2.6.17-2-686-smp. The machines were Dell 1750 and Dell 1850.

Unfortunately, with 'omreport' only the commands 'system' and 'storage'
works. The 'chassis' command doesn't even appears in the help when I do
'omreport -?'.

What is stranger is that I can obtain voltage and fan speed through SNMP
(works ok) but 'omreport chassis' returns nothing.
By the way, 'omreport storage' works fine e both machines.

Does any one have any idea of what I may be overlooking?
Thank You.

Cumprimentos,
Nuno Jordão

Hello,

  Sander Keemink has done the most work in porting the OMSA 5.0.0 to 
debian. I only made some changes in creating the debian packages.

You can get the package from:
   ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/outgoing/dell

There are 3 packages for Debian Sarge. There is a backport to Sarge for 
openipmi tools else omsa 5.0.0 did not work. So you have to build a 
kernel with ipmi modules enabled.

There is NO WARRANTY and NO DOCUMENTATION.

We have installed it on our 1850 cluster and everything works for us.

After installation run:
   omreport chassis
