Cannot get OpenManage omreport for Dell running CentOS 7

  • 772

I'm trying to get omreport on a Dell R710 running CentOS 7, but failing. The instructions at

http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/omsa.html

include a case for CentOS. They involve using wget to set up a yum repo configuration for Dell OpenManage Repository, but the command

yum install srvadmin-all

produces

Loaded plugins: dellsysid, fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirror.unl.edu
 * extras: mirror.hmc.edu
 * rpmforge: mirror.hmc.edu
 * updates: mirrors.unifiedlayer.com
No package srvadmin-all available

The same thing happens with package srvadmin-base. I checked the Dell OMSA FAQ, tried yum clean all, but still, no joy. My yum.conf has plugins=1. In fact, here is my yum.conf file:

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum/$basearch/$releasever
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
installonly_limit=5
bugtracker_url=http://bugs.centos.org/set_project.php?project_id=23&ref=http://bugs.centos.org/bug_report_page.php?category=yum
distroverpkg=centos-release

And here is the output of yum repolist:

# yum repolist

The Dell pages do not mention CentOS higher than 5, so is the problem that the Dell repository materials are not compatible with the latest CentOS?

In any case, how can I get omreport for CentOS 7?

    mhucka, Dell does not support OMSA on RHEL/Centos 7 unless you are on a 13th-generation server. The R710 is an 11th-generation server. I have a 12G server, and I'm reading that Dell may release support for that in OMSA 7.4.1 but that is still nowhere to be found, and I have not heard anything about 11G support.

    You can always try forcing it to install, using the instructions here: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=48532

  2. Just to add that I manage to install OMSA on RHEL(Citrix Xen Server 6.5) on a DELL R510 without too much trouble by simply pointing to the 'old' repository: 

    wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/OMSA_7.4.0/bootstrap.cgi | bash

    and then install srvadmin-all

    yum install srvadmin-all
