Falls at the first hurdle. I have two Dell systems I can test this on.  
The one with 10.3 is a 2500 which is not supported by recent versions  
of OMSA as far as I can tell. The other has 10.2. Zypper has a  
slightly different syntax: "zypper ar" is an error. I try "zypper  
sa" (service add instead of addrepo) and the link given is wrong - it  
does not exist

http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/OMSA_5.4/platform_independent/suse10_64/dell-hw-indep

There's no dell-hw-indep in there. But the intention is just to get  
the the SystemID so that the right two repositories are added - hw- 
independent and the one specific to the server. I already have the  
repositories added, but neither YaST nor zypper can see any packages  
there.
