I haven't worked with the Dell mibs besides walking them when I was first playing with OMSA
has any one is using Dell OpenManage on Centos ?
I use OMSA on all our Dell hardware and query it with a nagios plugin I got from either my groundworks install or from nagiosexchange.org
Last week I started playing with the Dell software repoisitories. They are pretty fantastic. http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/hardware

We use Dell OpenManage on Centos 4.5. First you have to trick the OpenManage software (and installer) into thinking you have RHEL. For v4 you add "Nahant" to the end of line of text in /etc/redhat-release. Nahant is the code name for RHEL4 and Dell software looks for it to know what type of system you are running.
Then you need to add a few lines to your snmpd.conf:
rwcommunity <comunityname> <monitor ip address> view all included .1 smuxpeer .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1
Where <communityname> is a name of your choosing and <monitor ip address> is the IP address of the machine that will be querying SNMP. Make sure to use the same community name in your Dell Server Assistant discovery configuration.
It's all in the documentation (except for the Nahant trick).
Good luck,
Jeff

FWIW the yum repo dell setup doesn't need you to to do that.

Yes, I put the link in my first email. The docs are pretty good, you shouldn't have to much trouble.

Hi,
Thanks for help. I was able to install srvadmin-base on my server, and added following lines on snmp.conf
rwcommunity <comunityname> <monitor ip address> view all included .1 smuxpeer .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1
But still can not browse Dell OID with following command. snmpwalk -Of -v 1 -c public 127.0.0.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.674
snmpwalk -Of -v 1 -c public 127.0.0.1 1.3.6.1.4.1 is returning informaiton but not 647 OID.
Thanks for help

Hi
I managed to install Dell Managed node on our servers, and now I am able to monitor them through IT Assistance. however there is one process that some time consume too much cpu process.
/opt/dell/srvadmin/dataeng/bin/dsm_sa_datamgr32d
it is not too much but still we are concern about it.
would you please let me know if we can change the time of polling data.
Thanks for help
