OSMA 5 on Gentoo Linux

[Berend Dekens]

Well the main problem is that I've never worked with OM on linux (and 
saw in acion once on a windows machine) so I don't know what all the 
tools are supposed to be doing.

Using the old 4.5 ebuild on bugs.gentoo.org I figured out all the tools 
want to use some sort of registry file, which I then created from the 
old 4.5 one. Now at least things like the dataeng binary don't crash on 
that anymore (I used strace to see what it was doing). But I can't get 
it to start:the binary still dies for some reason.

Also, most binaries with cfg in their name seem to be doing something 
when called but as I don't have a clue what each package is supposed to 
do, I don't know where to start.

I want monitoring for the RAID array and the redundant power supplies 
and tools to rebuild the RAID array when one of its drives is replaced.

The RAID tool is somewhere inside the web interface (i suppose) and I 
thought that iws might be the packages for that. The monitoring of the 
discs and power supply might be the task of dataeng as it seems to be 
doing something with SNMP (it sees my own SNMP daemon running and than 
reports that all 3 services failed to start, i tried shutting down the 
gentoo snmp daemon and rerunning dataeng but that didn't help).

Am I guessing in the right direction?

P.S. Little chance that Dell will release the source of OSMA so it can 
be compiled into native binaries on every distro right? ;)
