How to setup OpenManage on ESX 4.1.0


Dell OpenManage is a suite of system management applications for managing Dell PowerEdge servers. Today I carried out my day with an aim to see how OpenManage could be setup on top of ESX 4.1. I have ESX 4.1 build on Dell PowerEdge 2970 hardware.
I followed the following steps:



1. Install ESX 4.1.0 build on your Dell hardware. Enable ssh and firewall as shown below:

#vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

PermitRootLogin yes

#esxcfg-firewall --allowOutgoing --allowIncoming

2. Download OpenManage Package from http://ftp.dell.com/sysman/OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-LX-6.3.0-2075.ESX41.i386_A00.12.tar.gz and scp to ESX server(You can use wget alternative command to put it under ESX straight)

3.Run the followind command:

#mkdir /tmp/openmanage
#cd /tmp/openmanage
#tar xvzf /path/to/OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-LX-6.3.0-2075.ESX41.i386_A00.12.tar.gz
#cd linux/supportscripts/

[root@vmqa021-km-s2970 supportscripts]# ./srvadmin-install.sh -w -r -s
Installing the selected packages.
