OMSA 2 deb

The Sara OMSA Debian/Ubuntu? package is a recreation of the Dell Open Mange Server Administrator package suit. From the Dell rpm packages we created one Deb based package suitable for most Debian/Ubuntu? systems.

Current dellomsa version is: 5.5.0

Obtaining OMSA

Download the package from:

• ​ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/outgoing/dell/
• ​ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/sara-omsa/dists/dell/sara/binary-i386/
• ​ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/sara-omsa/dists/dell/sara/binary-amd64/

Debian setup

The archive is signed to add the public key to your own server

wget  http://ftp.sara.nl/debian_sara.asc 
apt-key add debian_sara.asc

or

wget -O - http://ftp.sara.nl/debian_sara.asc | apt-key add  -

Add to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/sara-omsa dell sara 

Install the package:

apt-get update
apt-get install dellomsa

Modify the startup script for the web interface to get it running: You'll have to edit /etc/init.d/dsm_om_connsvc and replace (line 178)

START_DAEMON ${PROGRAM_DAEMON} -run

with

START_DAEMON ${PROGRAM_DAEMON} -clrun >/dev/null 2>&1 &

Now the web interface should work (tested on Lenny release). Start it with

/etc/init.d/dsm_om_connsvc start

or have it started automatically on system startup with

update-rc.d dsm_om_connsvc defaults

To access the web interface, surf to

https://localhost:1311

. You might have to add an exception for the security certificate, depending on your browser settings.
