Getting Dell OpenManage web interface up and running

[kenneho]

Hello all.


I have installed Dell OpenManage on one of my RHEL 5.1 poweredge 1950
servers, and are able to access the agent via the "omreport" command.

The web interface, however, does not seem to be accessable. Running
"https://server1:1311" does not work, and I get an error message
saying that the page does not exist. I've tried "telnet server1 1311"
on the server, and it doesn't seem to be running a web server on that
port.

I can't find any traces of dell agents (i.e. srvadmin or omadmin) in /
etc/init.d. There were a few references to srvadmin from our
monitoring scout, but that was all.

Are there any particular log files I should be looking through? Took a
look at messages, but nothing there. Is it so that the kernel has an
internal web server, and that it is this server the dell agent uses?


Anyone knows how to get the web service up and running?


Regards,
Kenneth Holter

Look in /opt/dell Somewhere in there, as I recall, is a script that
starts and stops the web service.

Thanks for reply. I found the command "dsm_om_connsvc start" that I
believe should start up to web interface. Now I (finally) get some
messages in /var/log/messages, and they say this:

Oct 1 09:42:02 server1 lsb_start_daemon: dsm_om_connsvc32d
startup failed
Oct 1 09:42:02 server1 lsb_log_message: failed

Wasn't too much information there, but maybe you know what may be
causing this? Searched through Dell's support pages, but didn't find
any relevant information.

Thanks for the tip. I tried running that script, and got this:

[***@server ~]# srvadmin-services.sh start
Starting mptctl:
Waiting for mptctl driver registration to complete:
[ OK ]

Starting DSM SA Connection Service: [FAILED]

[***@server ~]# srvadmin-services.sh status
dell_rbu (module) is running
ipmi driver is running
dsm_sa_datamgr32d (pid 1069 1043) is running
dsm_sa_eventmgr32d (pid 1065) is running
dsm_om_shrsvc32d (pid 23651) is running
dsm_om_connsvc32d is stopped

So for some reason that last process doesn't start. Here is the
extract from /var/log/messages:

Oct 3 08:17:48 server lsb_log_message: succeeded
Oct 3 08:17:49 server lsb_start_daemon: dsm_om_connsvc32d startup
failed
Oct 3 08:17:49 server lsb_log_message: failed

Seem like the same message from before.
