Hello,

I'm installing Omsa on a PowerEdge 2950 running Debian Etch with kernel
2.6.18.

Using the .debs from:

http://linux.dell.com/files/openmanage-contributions/debian/omsa5.1/

I have managed to get the IPMI tools working and am able to query the
chassis and sensors.

I am now working on getting the Omsa package installed. From the above
site I have downloaded and installed the dellomsa_5.1.0-2_i386.deb package.

While the package appears to be setup and running I don't seem to get
any snmp data from it. When I check the process I can see that snmp is
enabled:

gavins:~[0]$ /etc/init.d/dataeng getsnmpstatus
Data Engine SNMP enabled
gavins:~[0]$

However performing an snmpwalk doesn't return any data:

gavins:~[0]$ snmpwalk -v 1 -Os -c ItIsSecret localhost
.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1
gavins:~[0]$

I've been reading the document at:

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/svradmin/5.1/en/ug/html/setup.htm#wp1047161

and I using the details for the RedHat install I believe I have
configured the snmp daemon correctly.

Does anyone know of any Debian specific tweaks that I am missing from my
setup? Below is a copy of my snmpd.conf:

# Access Control

####
# First, map the community name (COMMUNITY) into a security name
# (local and mynetwork, depending on where the request is coming
# from):

#       sec.name  source          community
#com2sec paranoid  default         public
com2sec readonly  default         ItIsSecret

#com2sec readonly  default         public
#com2sec readwrite default         private


####
# Second, map the security names into group names:

#               sec.model  sec.name
#group MyROSystem v1        paranoid
#group MyROSystem v2c       paranoid
#group MyROSystem usm       paranoid

group MyROGroup v1         readonly
group MyROGroup v2c        readonly
group MyROGroup usm        readonly

#group MyRWGroup v1         readwrite
#group MyRWGroup v2c        readwrite
#group MyRWGroup usm        readwrite

####
# Third, create a view for us to let the groups have rights to:

#           incl/excl subtree                          mask
view all    included  .1                               80
view system included  .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system

####
# Finally, grant the 2 groups access to the 1 view with different
# write permissions:

#                context sec.model sec.level match  read   write  notif
access MyROSystem ""     any       noauth    exact  system none   none
access MyROGroup ""      any       noauth    exact  all    none   none
#access MyRWGroup ""      any       noauth    exact  all    all    none
