Instructions are a modified re-post from the dell site here. First we will need to add the Dell OpenManage Ubuntu Repository to our machine with the following command. As of the time of writing, these instructions will install OpenManage 8.3.

sudo echo 'deb http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/ubuntu trusty openmanage' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linux.dell.com.sources.list

Next to verify OMSA packages, add the repository key to apt and make apt aware of the new software repository by issuing the following command.

gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 1285491434D8786F ; gpg -a --export 1285491434D8786F | sudo apt-key add - # add openjdk-7-jdk repository to meet dependencies sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa # update apt sudo apt-get update

Next, install one of the following selection of meta-packages to install the OMSA functionality you require. For example, to install all of OMSA: sudo apt-get install srvadmin-all . Refer to table below:

OpenManage Meta Packages (apt-get install [package]) srvadmin-all Install all OMSA components srvadmin-base Install only base OMSA, no web server srvadmin-rac4 Install components to manage the Dell Remote Access Card 4 srvadmin-rac5 Install components to manage the Dell Remote Access Card 5 srvadmin-idrac Install components to manage iDRAC srvadmin-idrac7 Install components to manage iDRAC7 srvadmin-webserver Install Web Interface srvadmin-storageservices Install RAID Management dtk-scripts Install DTK

To use web interface, users with appropriate permissions need to be added. Add users with appropriate permissions to /opt/dell/srvadmin/etc/omarolemap file. See detailed information in the User’s Guide. Note, that To start the web server and start the dsm_om_connsvc service at boot, issue the following command:

sudo service dsm_om_connsvc start && sudo update-rc.d dsm_om_connsvc defaults
