Hi Jeff,

Thanks Jeff for the update on this. Ideally, system reboot is not required to start \
Server administrator services successfully. Did you try to start services manually \
before rebooting the server?

Regards
Chandra

Chandrasekhar -

I didn't see that one when I checking to make sure the appropriate services were \
started.  That one was listed to start on boot, but was otherwise not started.  I had \
not rebooted the system after installing OMSA from DSU.  A reboot would have started \
everything correctly.  Everything appears to be running correctly now.  Thanks.

Based on the issue, most likely Data Manager service is not running successfully on \
the server. Kindly run the following command to see the Data Manager service status \
and also observe the /var/log/messages if there are any errors/crashes reported \
during Server Administrator services start up.


To see the service status:

/etc/init.d/dataeng status

To Start or restart

/etc/init.d/dataeng start/restart

Greetings -

I have had some firmware update issues on my PE T610 that I have discussed in another \
thread; however during the process of updating the firmware I have also run into an \
issue with OMSA. I previously had a working version (ver. 7.4) on the server, and I \
had previously used the Dell firmware tools repository to update the firmware. Since \
the new Dell System Update (DSU) tool is now the preferred method for updating \
firmware and OMSA, I did a complete un-installation of the ServerAdmin packages using \
the steps described below. Before uninstalling I confirmed that the latest OMSA \
version (ver. 8.2) is compatible with my system from the documentation \
(https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/dell-opnmang-sw-v8.2/manuals),
 specifically the OpenManage Software Support Matrix document, which lists the PE \
T610 and RHEL 6.7 as a supported hardware / software combination for OMSA 8.2.

Removed the existing OMSA packages.
# yum remove $(rpm -qa | grep srvadmin)

Since I know from past experience, and as advised by those more knowledgeable than me \
on this mailing list previously, this alone does not cleanly uninstall everything and \
the additional three commands were invoked for a completely clean un-installation.

*** Warning to others, be careful using this big hammer. *** # rm -fr \
/opt/dell/srvadmin/ # rm -fr /usr/libexec/dell_dup/ # rm -fr \
/usr/share/firmware/dell/

Then I installed the DSU utility to setup the repository files.
# wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/bootstrap.cgi | bash

Made sure that the DSU repository was the only one enable on my system (after seeing \
some of the recent discussion on this mailing list). The installed the Dell system \
update software, and OMSA. # yum install dell-system-update
# yum install srvadmin-all

I checked to make sure that the services I expected to see were installed and \
running. They were not running, so I started them via my Webmin interface. When I \
navigated to OMSA web interface and logged in, I was greeted with no information \
listed, except for a list of the OMSA software installed. Both the Main Chassis and \
Storage categories in the listing tree are blank. I know there have been issues in \
the past with the Storage category being blank, but I don't recall seeing an issue \
with both the Main Chassis and Storage not having any information. So I am looking to \
others, or the Dell representatives, for ideas how to address this issue. I would \
like to have a working OMSA back again.

Note: I am running CentOS 6.7 and I have modified /etc/redhat-release so that it \
shows Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.7 (Santiago). This change is all that \
has been necessary in the past to run OMSA on CentOS.

Please cc me directly with any responses, as I only receive the daily digest of this \
mailing list. Thanks.

Jeff
