If you've never installed OMSA on ESX, don't start with this script! Read the documentation first: "Installing Dell OpenManage in a VMware ESX Server Software Environment. After you have a grasp of the steps necessary, you can use this script as a stand-alone, or integrate it as part of your standard installation procedures.

I had to alter the SED lines as the snmpd.conf has changed in this version, the following worked for me...
sed -i "s/default[[:space:]]*public.*/default $SNMP_TRAP_DEST/g" /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf |

Firstly, Scott, thanks for the install script. It came in handy for a mostly Windows SysAdmin and worked like a charm on 14 of 16 ESX hosts. (Note for all, copying/pasting into Notepad++ messed up the carriage returns. After ftp'ing the file onto the ESX host I had to open/save the file with Nano.)
On two servers the install had problems with some of the scriptlets. Rerunning in the install doesn't do anything because it seems to thin it's already installed. I'd like to uninstall all the agent completely and resinstall. Is there any documentation for this or general troubleshooting? Thank you, Chris
Do you find this valuable?
