With the latest versin of bootstrap.cgi I got:

[root at cipsrv etc]# wget -q -O -
http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/bootstrap.cgi | bash
Downloading GPG key: http://linux.dell.com//repo/software/RPM-GPG-KEY-dell
    Importing key into RPM.
Downloading GPG key:
http://linux.dell.com//repo/software/RPM-GPG-KEY-libsmbios
    Importing key into RPM.
Installing dell-repository-22-0.el3.noarch.rpm
rm: Entfernen von »/etc/dell-mirror.cfg« nicht möglich: Datei oder
Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Done!

But still no changes. Saving and editing the script in line 140:

rpm -iv ${REPO_RPM} #> /dev/null 2>&1'

Now I get this:

[root at cipsrv root]# ./test Downloading GPG key:
http://linux.dell.com//repo/software/RPM-GPG-KEY-dell
    Importing key into RPM.
Downloading GPG key:
http://linux.dell.com//repo/software/RPM-GPG-KEY-libsmbios
    Importing key into RPM.
Installing dell-repository-22-0.el3.noarch.rpm

dell-repository-18-0.el3
rm: Aufruf von lstat für »/etc/dell-mirror.cfg« nicht möglich: Datei
oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Done!

After removing dell-repository the script works:

[root at cipsrv root]# rpm -e dell-repository
[root at cipsrv root]# ./test
Downloading GPG key: http://linux.dell.com//repo/software/RPM-GPG-KEY-dell
    Importing key into RPM.

    Importing key into RPM.

dell-repository-22-0.el3
If you haven't already done so, you should import Dell's GPG keys
into RPM.  Do this by running:
    rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-dell
    rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-libsmbios
rm: Aufruf von lstat für »/etc/dell-mirror.cfg« nicht möglich: Datei
oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Done!

The following packages were added to your selection to satisfy dependencies:

Perhaps the script should look at line 140 for an already installed
repository rpm. Then exit with a warning or try an update.

The next step for me was to look for available packages:

[root at cipsrv root]# up2date-nox --show-available --channel=dell-software
An error has occurred:
This system may not be updated until it is associated with a channel.
See /var/log/up2date for more information

getChannels
    raise up2dateErrors.NoChannelsError(_("This system may not be

What I can do is 'up2date -i metapackage'. OMSA 5.1 is up and running.
