Instructions are a modified re-post from the dell site here. First we will need to add the Dell OpenManage Debian Repository to our machine with the following command.

sudo echo 'deb http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/debian jessie 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 - && 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
