Racadm on Fedora Core 4?

Anyone got racadm working properly on Fedora Core 4? I know it's not
officially supported, but I figured it was worth asking.

I downloaded a for RHEL 4 on support.dell.com (I got the 4.5 version). The
rpms install fine, but it can't contact the RAC on a 2650.

Any pointers?

Thanks,

Steve

Re: PowerEdge 850 + SATA + Debian Sarge = No partitionable media

Sounds like solution.  I think that I might end up having to do this.

Thanks.

Re: PowerEdge 850 + SATA + Debian Sarge = No partitionable media

This might explain a lot!

I've tried with Etch (which does recognise the drives), but it installs gcc4 
as part of the base system.  I don't know whether I'd be wasting my time 
trying to use the Sarge with it.

One option I've considered is to install Woody (using this custom installer: 
http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/LNX/Debian+on+Dell+Servers) and then upgrade 
to Sarge.  I'm not sure what would be involved with this but it might be 
easier to upgrade than to downgrade (as with Etch).

Re: PowerEdge 850 + SATA + Debian Sarge = No partitionable media

No luck with 2.4 kernel.  I was rather hoping to use Debian...

RE: PowerEdge 850 + SATA + Debian Sarge = No partitionable media

U used below to install on a PE2850.

if you use this iso, woody is only use at install point
when your nic is configured, you get the stable packages
from de debian servers, which is Sarge.
so the installer uses woody, en then it's sarge.
you'll end up with a debian sarge server ;-) 

I installed OSMA 4.4. on it and its running fine. 
use the testing/unstable tree to get the latest kernel.

(apt-get install linux-source-2.6.14) unstable	
(apt-get install linux-source-2.6.12) testing	bootsplash-able

here if you need it.
/etc/apt/apt.conf
APT::Default-Release "stable";
APT::Get::Show-Upgraded "true";
// 16 MB Limit
APT::Cache-limit 16777216;

/etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 990

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 500

No Disks found with a PXE install of AS3

Hi All,

PXE install's of es3u5 seem fine.

However do a PXE install with AS3 and I get a "No Disks" error on a
6450.

Any clues or have I missed something?

Greg

Re: OMSA on 64bit AS 3.0

I did that, and 2 of the 3 then did work.  The dcdbas would still not 
compile however.  I did try rsyncing up /opt/dell from a 32 bit server to 
a 64 bit one and that worked - but that doesn't seem like a good 
workaround :-)

Re: OMSA on 64bit AS 3.0


Do you have a compiler and kernel source on that system so DKS can build
the right module? Check the log file that it indicates to see what is
wrong.
