I have a Dell 1950 box on evaluation with 2 SATA drives connected to the on board Dell PERC 5/i with the disks set up as a mirror
I've installed CentOS4.4 (x86_64) on the system and now I'm trying to install/configure/use the Dell OpenManage tools that came on a CD with the system.
I've installed the tools using the provided install script and they appeared to install OK.
I'm primarily interested in the tools to monitor the RAID controller - but if I type:
omreport storage controller -fmt lst
I get:
No controllers found
Also, if I use the Web interface, I only get 'Diagnostic' menus - nothing about configuring/monitoring the storage.
As I've never used OpenManage before, I'm not sure what to expect from it ...
Does anyone know if I have to do anything special to get these OpenManage tools to work with CentOS4?
Thanks

I can't provide much help with using openmanage but I know there's a Yum repo provided by the dell-poweredge guys for installing the latest versions of required packages.

I suspect you might get an informative answer from a list member here but it might be worth posting over on linux-poweredge too?
Will.
