Debian GNU/Linux & Dell OMSA

[Sander Keemink]

Nuno,

When starting omsa the following modules are loaded on my machine:
ipmi_devintf           12552  2
ipmi_si                36260  1
ipmi_msghandler        33344  2 ipmi_devintf,ipmi_si
dcdbas                 11180  1

The dcdbas module is part of the legacy linux kernel, so no more modules with omsa.

Like I see it you got everything that you need on first sight.

Have you done a strace on omreport chassis?
Maybe this can give an outcome.

It could be an omsa configuration problem
See if chassis is in this file:
/opt/dell/srvadmin/oma/ini/omcli32.ini
It contains al the omreport commands

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 Jordão
