OS agnostic tarballs
May 14 2008, 5:23 PM EDT Believe it or not, I don't use Redhat, Fedora or Centos! RPM based distros are not suitable for every server out there. Yes this is an unsupported setup ... Openmanage in RPM format is a pain to install. Please consider distributing some unsupported plain tarballs of Openmanage. Better yet, please consider open-sourcing and distributing source tarballs of Openmanage. 11 out of 12 found this valuable. Do you? |

May 16 2008, 8:10 AM EDT At least a .deb version of the packages would be a great improvement. 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

May 20 2008, 2:01 AM EDT Some tools especially for the Management Station should not be RPM format. It should simply tarball or java-based. Even on windows it use MS SQL Server 2005 which its require too much resources. Only SQLite or simple BDB database along with RRDtool is enough for as much as 1000 servers as well as graphing support. For managed station, it not possible to create package for every distros, by the way, Dell should open the specification and/or create the open source community project to do this kind of thing. So many people will help write the managed station part to work with different distros based on interface specifications. Please consider create the open source project for OpenManage solutions. It called OpenManage but it actually NOT open. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

May 25 2008, 5:46 PM EDT Yes, please make it Open Source, so there's a chance that non-RedHat distros can be properly supported. I presume that as Ubuntu is now officially supported on Dell hardware that there will be .deb packages available sometime soon, but even installing on close relations to supported distros (ie OpenSUSE) is a pain right now. 1 out of 1 found this valuable.
