Dell OMSA on oVirt node
Hello everyone, I would really like to have installed Dell OMSA on my dell nodes so I can benefit of lots of administration features. Does anyone managed to have it installed ? I am running oVirt 4.2.8, and after adding dell yum repos and running "yum install srvadmin-all" I get the following errors: Error: Package: srvadmin-itunnelprovider-9.2.0-3142.13664.el7.x86_64 (dell-system-update_dependent) Requires: sblim-sfcc >= 2.2.1 Error: Package: srvadmin-itunnelprovider-9.2.0-3142.13664.el7.x86_64 (dell-system-update_dependent) Requires: sblim-sfcb >= 1.3.7 Error: Package: srvadmin-itunnelprovider-9.2.0-3142.13664.el7.x86_64 (dell-system-update_dependent) Requires: libcmpiCppImpl0 >= 2.0.0 Error: Package: srvadmin-itunnelprovider-9.2.0-3142.13664.el7.x86_64 (dell-system-update_dependent) Requires: libcmpiCppImpl.so.0()(64bit) Error: Package: srvadmin-itunnelprovider-9.2.0-3142.13664.el7.x86_64 (dell-system-update_dependent) Requires: openwsman-server >= 2.2.3 Error: Package: srvadmin-tomcat-9.2.0-3142.13664.el7.x86_64 (dell-system-update_dependent) Requires: openwsman-client >= 2.1.5 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Obviously there are conflicts, but the server being on production, I would not mess around with the packages and trying to solve the conflicts. Any thoughts ? Thank you very much, Leo -- Best regards, Leo David

oVirt Node has the regular CentOS yum repos disabled, but Dell's OMSA expects them (and possibly some things from EPEL? can't remember). You can try "yum --enablerepo={base,updates} install srvadmin-all". I'm not sure how oVirt Node might handle the additional packages, what will happen on oVirt upgrades, etc. though. From what I understand, installing additional software on Node isn't really supported. You might be better off installing "regular" CentOS and then oVirt, without using the Node method. -- Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net>
Agree with Chris here, regular CentOS 7 hosts may be easier to manage in this case. Not much persists when updating oVirt node, some select folders/files persist on updates such as /etc and /root for example but I'm not sure how custom packages/rpms are handled. I believe there may be ways you can have packages persist but I'm not familiar with the process. I know the idea of package persistence was brought up before but I'm not sure if/when/how it was implemented. On Thu, Mar 21, 2019 at 3:52 PM Chris Adams <cma@cmadams.net> wrote:

Thank you guys ! Wow... this complicates the things, since reinstalling the hosts with centos instead of oVirt node distribution would give me a bit of headache. The dell hosts are already running in production. I think it would be really nice if standard node would support installing management software for well known brands like dell, hp, lenovo, supermicro, etc... I am sure we cannot track every server brand in the world, but in realitty there are just a couple of them most spreaded across ovirt node installations. I will try to see what I can do, although I am a bit afraid to not break the os somehow... On Thu, Mar 21, 2019, 21:31 Jayme <jaymef@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, oVirt Node will persist packages installed on the system across updates. Official documentation about this is here: https://ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Hosts.html#ovirt-node According to documentation at https://ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade-guide/appe-Manually_Updating_Hosts.h... you should check after the upgrade that all the needed packages have been persisted. A very outdated feature page for this is here: https://ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/node/node-next-persist...
