Install Dell OpenManage Debian 7

[Aerosol]

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.
