The repository setup
is fine, however OMSA (srvadmin) is failing to install.
Even
though DSU does not block OMSA installation or upgrade on any server,
OMSA is supported on certain Linux distributions and PowerEdge server
models. For more details on supported OS and server, check the latest
OMSA documentation. DSU supports upgrade of OMSA (srvadmin), where
an OMSA version is already installed. A fresh installation of OMSA
can be performed directly with YUM commands from the same DSU repository
as mentioned in
Installing OpenManage
Server Administrator
section.
YUM based systems:
In certain circumstances, YUM caches incorrect
repository metadata. Run
yum clean all to remove
old metadata, and retry. Up2date can also cache incorrect metadata
at times. To remove old metadata, run
rm -f /var/spool/up2date/*. You should be able to safely remove all the files under /var/spool/up2date/
at any time and up2date automatically downloads the required files.
If you still have problems, please report to the linux-poweredge@dell.com
mailing list. Ensure to include the following information:
-
Subject line should mention the name of the repository
that has a problem
-
Linux Distribution, arch, version, and patchlevel:
eg. RHEL 6 x86_64 Update 9
-
Dell system model and system id
-
Error output from any commands
The repository setup
is fine, OMSA (srvadmin) is installed but won’t start or you can’t
access it.
To access OMSA and
the DSU repository, the svradmin service has to be started. Before
starting the service, ensure that the openipmi service is enzabledusing
the following command:
# srvadmin-services.sh
start
Starting ipmi driver: [FAILED]
# chkconfig openipmi on
For detailed information about OMSA trouble shooting,
refer OpenManage Server Administration manuals.
Repository conflicts
for updates having different version.
DSU will
point to incorrect updates, if multiple repositories are configured
which contains different versions of similar packages.
It is advised to disable other repositories in such cases.
The DSU commands are
not working even after the successful installation of the software.
After successful installation of DSU, if the commands do not work,
ensure to assess the following requirements:
-
Check if the environment variables are set
-
Check if you have administrator privileges if DSU
is installed on the supported Windows operating system
-
Check if you have root permission if DSU is installed
on the supported linux operating system
Failure message is observed while creating a bootable ISO through DSU.
[FAILED] Failed to start Startup script for DTK
Please check 'systemctl status start-script.service' for details”
The message displayed can be ignored as it will not have any impact while creating a bootable ISO.
If an ISO created with DSU on iDRAC virtual media, an error message is displayed.
When a Bootable ISO created with DSU is mounted on iDRAC virtual media, possibility of the media getting un-mounted abruptly
when iDRAC update option is selected. Due to which other updates available on the ISO will not continue and an error message
is displayed as “file not found”. Work around in such cases, is suggested not to include iDRAC update along with other
system updates while creating bootable ISO.
