Dell’s own website lists RHEL 7 as a supported operating system. We have PowerEdge \
720xd servers that are supposed to be certified for use with RHEL7 according to: \
http://linux.dell.com/files/supportmatrix/RHEL_Support_Matrix.pdf

So you should get RHEL 7 running and supported by Dell with Red Hat’s drivers.

How is it we cannot get OMSA or driver/firmware packages for this OS?

OMSA No.
Drivers from Red Hat
Firmware through Lifecycle Controller

Is there an official statement by Dell about this somewhere?

There you go:

 Dell Systems Management - OpenManage Software Support Matrix (in English)

 Page 18, Supported Dell OpenManage Systems Management Software on Linux Operating \
Systems Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 (64-bit)

It does not explicitly mention RHEL7 so it’s not supported.

Hi Johannes,

CentOS 7.  In the latest repo we are not supporting Rhel 7 or corresponding CentOS 7 \
and bootstrap fails for these unsupported OSes. For supported OS information please  \
refer tohttp://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/omsa.html#Supported_Operating_Systems

Thanks,
