How do upgrade OpenManage from 6.5 to 7 in CentOS 6?

Question

How do I upgrade OpenManage? When I download the rpm there are no scripts include in the tar file, and the Dell repo doesn't seem to have OpenManage 7?

Answer 1

Download OpenManage (Probably better off going via Dell's website to get the latest, but for the lazy):

wget ftp://ftp.dell.com/FOLDER00298767M/1/OM-MgmtStat-Dell-Web-LX-7.0.0-4614_A00.tar.gz
#The following a tar bomb (Go Dell, might want to make a directory first) 
tar zxf OM-MgmtStat-Dell-Web-LX-7.0.0-4614_A00.tar.gz

Remove the old version:

sudo yum erase $(rpm -qa | grep srvadmin)
sudo yum erase libsmbios.x86_64 

Install the new RPMs (After getting the newest version of lubsmbios):

[kbrandt@ny-lb05: ~/linux/rac/RHEL6/x86_64] sudo rpm -i *.rpm

Enable at boot:

[kbrandt@ny-lb05: /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin] sudo ./srvadmin-services.sh enable
instsvcdrv      0:on    1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:on
dataeng         0:off   1:off   2:off   3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off

Start it up:

[kbrandt@ny-lb05: /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin] sudo ./srvadmin-services.sh start
