OMSA from hardware repo on PE R805 / CentOS 5.2 x86_64

[Adrian Schmitz]

Hi,

 

I'm having some trouble getting OMSA to install from the yum repo (
using the instructions at
http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/hardware). It's a new
PowerEdge R805 (I have a couple of them to do, plus a handful of 2950s
and 1950s when I'm done with the R805s), running CentOS 5.2 x86_64. The
bootstrap script appears to run fine and the repositories get added to
my yum.repos.d, but afterwards a "yum install srvadmin-all" results in
the following:

 

[root at HOST03 ~]# yum install srvadmin-all

Loading "fastestmirror" plugin

Loading "dellsysidplugin" plugin

 * dell-hardware-auto: linux.dell.com

 * base: repo.bioinformatics.upenn.edu

 * updates: www.gtlib.gatech.edu

 * addons: wuarchive.wustl.edu

 * dell-hardware-main: linux.dell.com

 * extras: mirror.atlanticmetro.net

Parsing package install arguments

No package srvadmin-all available.

Nothing to do

[root at HOST03 ~]#

 

I've tried all the suggestions on the FAQ
(http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/FAQ) that I thought
looked applicable, but to no avail:

 

-          I've run a "yum clean all"

-          I've verified that plugins=1 in my yum.conf, and verified
that the dell  plugin is, in fact, present in /usr/lib/yum-plugins/

-          By default, distroverpkg=redhat-release in my yum.conf. Based
on a suggestion on the FAQ, I tried changing that to
distroverpkg=centos-release instead, but that didn't seem to make a
difference. Still, not sure if there's anything additional I need to do
after making this change for it to take effect. For now, since it didn't
appear to help, I've changed it back to redhat-release.

-          Run getSystemId and verified that my system ID (0x0221) is
listed as a supported system. Verified that the packages for this system
are present in the repo.

 

I'm not sure what else to try at this point. I hope I'm just missing
something silly. I realize CentOS is not an officially supported
platform, but any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks in
advance. Below is some command output that I thought might be helpful.
