This page will focus on Dell OpenManage on Linux only.
Installation
Install Dell's OpenManage programs from their repository available at http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/. You can either manually install the packages or run their bootstraper script to install their repository.
## From http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/DSU_16.12.00/
# wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi
Once installed, the binaries can be found in /opt/dell/srvadmin/bin. You may want to append this path to your PATH variable.
# PATH=$PATH:/opt/dell/srvadmin/bin
You may also need to manually start some services such as the data engine service in order to query hardware information about storage systems by running /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/dsm_sa_datamgrd.
Usage
Open Manage Report Utility (omreport)
Run omreport -? for a list of available options on your system.
Storage System
To monitor your server's RAID array, run:
# omreport storage pdisk controller=0
Open Mange Configuration Utility (omreport)
Creating a new RAID
Suppose you need to create a new vdisk after inserting a disk into a server. Use omconfig to set up the disk.
Find the disk using ./omreport storage pdisk controller=0. If you're not sure what controller ID to use, you can find it by running ./omreport storage controller.
Controller PERC H710 Mini (Embedded)
ID : 0:1:6
Status : Non-Critical
Name : Physical Disk 0:1:6
State : Ready
Power Status : Spun Up
Bus Protocol : SATA
Media : HDD
...
Capacity : 465.25 GB (499558383616 bytes)
Then, create the vdisk using the disk above.
root@server:/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin# ./omconfig storage controller controller=0 action=createvdisk raid=r0 size=max pdisk=0:1:6 writepolicy=wb name=backup
Command successful!
