Re: [Xen-users] Dell OpenManage

Hi Everyone,

I have a Xen host (Xen 3.4.2) which is running CentOS 5.5 Dom0. I wish to 
install Dell OpenManage to get a nice web interface with hardware status.

Do I need to do anything special to get this working on a Xen host? Or does it 
work out of the box? The reason why I'm asking, instead of trying, is that my 
server is currently on its way to a colo, and I won't have access to it for a 
few days.

Many Thanks


Hi Jonathan
I am running Dell Openmanage on dom0 of several of my production Dell servers which are running Sci. Linux 5.3, similar to Centos, and it is working fine. My servers are still running the xen 3.1.2 that comes
with the distro.

Whatever you do, however, don't attempt to install openmanage
in the domU and run it--it makes some nasty hardware calls
that can crash not only the domU but the underlying dom0.
