apt-get install srvadmin-all

# sign out and sign back in

srvadmin-services.sh start

Worked Perfectly on my Cluster with 3x Poweredge R610's Thank you for the information!

I able to get it working using the bullseye iSM repo:

echo 'deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/dell.asc] http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/openmanage/iSM/5300/bullseye bullseye main' | tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linux.dell.com.sources.list
curl https://linux.dell.com/repo/pgp_pubkeys/0x1285491434D8786F.asc > /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/dell.asc
apt update
apt install dcism
service dcismeng start

Works perfectly but by adding ubuntu repo to the system (I don't recommend doing this in production system, test it first!).

=========================================================================================
Remove srvadmin
apt purge srvadmin-*

Install the packages that was downloaded
dpkg -i *.deb

If you encounter a lot of errors in installing srvadmin packages, execute it again
dpkg -i *.deb

(Same as OP) If you have NVME disk, dataeng will segfault. To correct that problem :
Bash:
nano /opt/dell/srvadmin/etc/srvadmin-storage/stsvc.ini
And comment the line
Code:
vil7=dsm_sm_psrvil
like that :
Code:
; vil7=dsm_sm_psrvil

relogin then execute:
srvadmin-services.sh restart

Love it!

My thanks to all for keeping this alive.

Proxmox 7 support is nearing its end, so I'm looking into a direct upgrade to 8.

I see two choices.

1) Remove OMSA 10.1 (see how I did this install here.) / move to SNMP monitoring IDRAC or learn checkmk.

2) Update to OMSA 10.3 via the WGETs in this thread so that I'm ready to move to Proxmox 8.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to understand what's involved in removing OMSA vs updating it as well as the various components?

best,

James

Hi All,

For anyone who installed OMSA on PVE7, as I did here, this is just a note to let you know that an in-place upgrade seems to work. Our hyper-converged Ceph cluster has been running well for 24 hours. I'll post back I there are issues.

best,

James
