OMSA 5.5 on Ubuntu 8.10 (AMD64)

[Christian Rishøj]

Hoping to get OMSA 5.5 to run on a PowerEdge 2950 III with Ubuntu 8.10  
(AMD64), I've basically followed the instructions on:

http://www.goingwip.de/index.php/projects/59-howtos/79-howto-ubuntu-server-debian-and-dell-raid-monitoring-over-omsa

I skipped the MPT related steps, as the server has Perc 6/i, using  
megasas_raid), but did the following:

  * installed prerequisite .debs
  * installed dellomsa_5.5.0-1_amd64.deb from ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/sara-omsa/dists/dell/sara/binary-amd64
  * did the PAM fix by putting some 32bit binaries in /lib32 and  
patching /etc/pam.d/omauth

Doing /etc/init.d/dsm_om_connsvc start produces no error, but the  
service does not start up.

Looking in /var/log/dsm_om_connsvc32dIO.log, I see the following:

Thinking this is a JVM related problem, I tried replacing the JRE in / 
opt/dell/srvadmin with the system JRE by doing:

# cd /opt/dell/srvadmin
# mv jre jre.orig
# ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre jre

This results in a different error reported to /var/log/ 
dsm_om_connsvc32dIO.log:

Any clue what I might be doing wrong?
