1. Setting up SOL on BIOS

- make sure that "IPMI Over LAN" is enabled

- "Serial Communication" on main menu ==> "On with Console Redirection via COM2" , which is connected to the MBC

Yum setup

These instructions work for RHEL5, RHEL6, CentOS, Scientific Linux.

You can install yum as an addon for SLES9/10, and these instructions will work as well.

NOTE 1: The version of yum distributed on CentOS 3 by default is too old (yum 2.0.8). You will need to upgrade to a yum 2.4.x version in order to use these repositories. The older version of yum does not support plugins or mirrorlists, which are required for these repos to work.

NOTE 2: If you use yum with CentOS, or Scientific Linux, you must enable plugins in order for the repositories to function correctly. The system connects to a system-specific repository using a yum plugin, which, if not enabled, will not work properly and you will not be able to install packages from the OMSA repository. Add the line, 'plugins=1' to your yum.conf if it is not already there.

1. Set up the Dell OpenManage Repository at http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware, like this:

   wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi | bash

2. Optional Install OpenManage Server Administrator:

   yum install srvadmin-all

   NOTE: You can install OMSA on all Linux systems even if the server is not supported. However, complete functionality is not guaranteed.
