Can you run and use Dell OpenManage on FC7 with only basesysteminstalled? No CLI

[Jason Ede]

Yep, that gets this install going at least....

It bombs out later on due to a library dependency... I can fix that, but I was wondering if there is a CLI way of monitoring the status of a SAS 5i RAID array, without having to use open manage

Currently I can unplug one of the drives and although the BIOS picks it up FC7 doesn't seem to detect that a drive has failed.

It's not because of your lack of X. It's because Fedora isn't officially supported by Dell.

When I tried installing OpenManager on a FC7 system with no X windows installed it just bombed out... No error message, nothing. It just exited back to the shell.

The OMSA install script allows you to choose the GUI as an option. If you don't select it, you get a CLI only installation.

Dell, I am wondering if I can utilize the Dell OpenManage software on a Poweredge 1950 through just the CLI?  I have Fedora 7 on some of our systems without xwindows, only the CLI. (No GUI) Can I install and then utilize (see hard drive stats or RAID configurations etc...) from the terminal window command line?  Any link or information about this would be helpful. I tried to google it but most of the links say "yes. You can do openmanage with Linux but don't tell me if I can manage it and gather information with the CLI only.) They all seem to point to installing it and then viewing/managing it through a web browser.
