hi,

I followed the instructions to install the latest Openmanage for Debian. In the past this has worked ok but now I'm seeing in the messages log -

instsvcdrv: /etc/init.d//dsm_sa_ipmi start command failed with status 1

I think something called OpenIPMI needs to be installed which it is but still not starting. :(

Im running Proxmox 3.1. Anyone got OM working with this version of Proxmox?

thanks

matt
 
Hi, I have had the same problem.

This is because of the redhat kernel use by proxmox.

If I remember it's related to the ipmi module, compiled in kernel and not available as module.

I have hacked /etc/init.d/dataeng or /etc/init.d/dsm_sa_ipmi, I don't remember exactly to get it work.
 
hi,

Nice one, uninstalled the old version then installed the new one and all is working :)

thanks

Hi,

I also installed OMSA 7.3 on 3.1 this afternoon, it is working, but I am not completly convinced. If you install srvadmin-all, it depnds on a lot of packages :
Code: 
# apt-get install srvadmin-all
...
Les NOUVEAUX paquets suivants seront installés :
  cim-schema hicolor-icon-theme libargtable2-0 libatk1.0-0 libatk1.0-data libavahi-client3 libavahi-common-data

  srvadmin-smweb srvadmin-standardagent srvadmin-storage srvadmin-storage-cli srvadmin-storage-snmp
  srvadmin-storageservices srvadmin-storageservices-cli srvadmin-storageservices-snmp srvadmin-storelib
  srvadmin-storelib-sysfs srvadmin-sysfsutils srvadmin-tomcat srvadmin-webserver srvadmin-xmlsup x11-common

I fear all these dependencies can make difficult in the future an upgrade to a newer version of Proxmox, and perhaps Debian.

I don't require the web interface (port 1311), but I don't know what exactly you need to monitor the Raid. I tried srvadmin-base, but it is not sufficient, and added srvadmin-storageservices, but still not sufficient. I wonder what packages are required between :
srvadmin-base, srvadmin-rac4, srvadmin-rac5, srvadmin-idrac, srvadmin-idrac7, srvadmin-webserver, srvadmin-storageservices, dtk-scripts
