For those with login probs… it took me a while to realize this was all hooked-up to PAM so I just used the root login/pwd. I think the “admin” account parms are ignored.

I have the same trouble on my PE860.
I have SAS RAID controller et it does not recognised.

I install mpt-status to show information, but I can not see SAS controller on the web interface.

I install OMSA 5.5.

I edited the /opt/dell/srvadmin/iws/config/iws.ini to something other then Admin/admin, but I can not log in into the web-interface.

Matt, I have the same problem. I’m using a Dell R300 server with Debian Lenny. When I try to restart the dataeng, something goes wrong with the networking. If I have someone restart the networking, I can connect again (ssh). Another odd thing is that nothing shows up under storage. It doesn’t show the SAS RAID controller. I have installed this on 3 other dells and it worked fine. The others were 2650 and 2950 servers.

Did you find any solution to this?

Regards,
Gordon

Hi,
and thanks for the doc !

Maybe you could had the following line in the pre-requisite section :

# wget http://ftp.sara.nl/debian_sara.asc -O – | apt-key add -

to get rid of ” WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!”.

Est utilisÃ© ici un serveur Dell PowerEdge 1850 avec une carte DRAC. Installer Debian (pour mon cas ce sera Debian Lenny netinstall x64) Petite note: mÃªme si les processeurs sont des Intel, il faut prendre la amd64… L’installation finie,…

Thanks for the article, I was stumped trying to find the service to restart for OM. For some reason my “racsrv” processes was spiked at 100% for a long period of time… restarting OM fixed the problem.

Thanks,
Cody
