gerlin OpenManage on ESX 3i 3.5 1 Apr 30 2008, 3:15 PM EDT by scott_hanson
Thread started: Apr 30 2008, 2:24 PM EDT  Watch
The VMware web site states that the latest version of ESX3i supports OpenManage 5.4 (http://www.vmware.com/support/vi3/doc/vi3_esx3i_i_35u1_vc25u1_rel_notes.html). Though I don't see any referenence to this anywhere. Is there a version of OpenManage that works with the 3i infrastructure?

A co-worker of my has a customer that using serial KVM's. He's find finding that the serial port on his new 2950 does not allow for serial re-direction. Any ideas on how to "enable" serial redirection?

PS - he's found the setting in the BIOS to enable this. but the change does not take effect when he tries :-(

I recently got a question from a customer - Is it possible to dump DMI information from a Dell system to prove that it is compliant with SMBIOS standards?

Thanks - Todd

A while back there was talk of a new version of openmanage based off of Altiris? Is this still around, and if so, where can I get information on it?

jb4674 Dell OpenManage Managed Node in SUSE 10 0 Feb 26 2008, 11:26 AM EST by jb4674
Thread started: Feb 26 2008, 11:26 AM EST  Watch
Hi guys,

I'm having a problem with OM ManNode running in Suse 10. I have installed the program and when I went in to configure the snmpd.conf file using vi, I saw the following:

rocommunity public 127.0.0.1
# rwcommunity mysecret 127.0.0.1

I proceeded to edit the file and now I have the following:

rocommunity <my community name>
trapcommunity <my community name>
trapsink <my openmanage server ip address>

# Allow Systems Management Data Engine SNMP to connect to snmpd using SMUX
smuxpeer .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1


Having successfully installed OM in a few ESX servers before, I thought this would've been a day at the park to install but, it certainly doesn't appear to be. The server shows up in ITA with a question mark and all I see (information wise from it) is its ip address.

I read in a thread somewhere that the smux line should be edited to add a password to it? I tried to access the file to give it a password but I couldn't do it. The command I used was:

/opt/dell/srvadmin/dataeng/bin/dcecfg32 command=setsmuxpassword password=(my community name)

I just get the "not a directory" response.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jimmy
