I am trying to install OMSA, but am having a difficult time, just with outdated hardware, etc. I found two good threads:
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/how-to-install-dell-openmanage-7-1-in-proxmox-4.26588/ and https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/dell-openmanage-on-proxmox.15380/page-2. I've been having no luck so far.
I was able to get dcismeng installed, but when I try to start it, I got this:
systemctl status dcismeng.service
● dcismeng.service - iDRAC Service Module
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/dcismeng.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Fri 2021-01-29 12:09:43 EST; 1s ago

Also ran into this:

A few interesting links I've come across: http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/debian/ and http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/openmanage/.
I would prefer to try and avoid any third-party solutions, and would prefer to pull from this dell site.

My machine stats: Dell R710 (is an 11th gen, I found out), and latest version of Proxmox.
