To install Dell OpenManage on Debian 7 we should proceed some steps. Let's think that we use a clean Debian 7 install. The first step in to run the next command to update the server: apt-get update && apt-get install sudo -y && apt-get upgrade -y After updating the system we should add some pre-requirements like libssl0.9.8 using commands: cd /tmp && wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-4squeeze14_amd64.deb dpkg -i libssl0.9.8_0.9.8o-4squeeze14_amd64.deb Now we will create a new file in sources.list: echo “deb http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/ubuntu wheezy openmanage” > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linux.dell.com.sources.list Adding the keys: gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 1285491434D8786F gpg -a --export 1285491434D8786F | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update Install libcurl3 and OpenManage: apt-get install libcurl3 srvadmin-all -y Now we should change the run level because the default settings have a bug. Open file nano /etc/init.d/dsm_om_connsvc and change Default-Start and Default-Stop like in the next: # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 Now we will remove and add again dsm_om_connsvc with the new params: update-rc.d -f dsm_om_connsvc remove update-rc.d dsm_om_connsvc defaults update-rc.d dataeng defaults Restart the server and navigate to https://server_ip:1311 and login with your root user and password.
