Does anybody else use the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator software on their ESX hosts?
I am doing a clean/new install of ESX 4 on a Dell PowerEdge R900 server. I have installed the OMSA without errors, but when you try to start the services you get a "Starting ipmi driver: " message. The web interface is up and running, but it doesn't report any hardware info.
It acts like IPMI isn't installed at all, but a rpm query shows:
vmware-esx-drivers-ipmi-ipmi-msghandler-400.39.1vmw-1.0.4.164009
vmware-esx-drivers-ipmi-ipmi-si-drv-400.39.1vmw-1.0.4.164009
vmware-esx-drivers-ipmi-ipmi-devintf-400.39.1vmw-1.0.4.164009
srvadmin-ipmi-5.5.0-364.DUP (Shows up after running the OMSA install)
I tried install OpenIPMI via the srvadmin-openipmi.sh script and get:
Status: OpenIPMI driver module is not loaded in the kernel.
Recommended action: If OpenIPMI modules are available on the system,
execute 'modprobe' command to add modules to the kernel.
I looked in "/lib/modules/2.6.18-128.ESX/kernel/drivers/" for an IPMI driver to modprobe, but can't find any.
Anbody have any ideas on where to go from here?
