Ryan,
Thanks for the report on the firmware update exception. What distro/version are
you running? Would you mind posting the output with '--verbose'?
Thanks,
Jeff

Subject: ***POSSIBLE SOLUTION*** OM 6.2 Broken Storage Section
I'm also seeing this issue, and no luck with the workaround either. (Plus I
had to manually unload the ipmi module-stopping the service didn't do it). I
opened a support case and he tried suggested to use the driver from the website
- v00.00.03.21 instead of the 00.00.04.08 in the 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5 kernel, but
as this kernel and hardware play fine with OMSA6.1 I didn't really want to go
that direction (and doubt it would help anyway).
Also, firmware updates seem to be broken:
[r...@write1y ~]# update_firmware --yes

Haven't dug through the python to see what the source of that might be yet, but
it certainly works for me with OMSA6.1.
Does anyone know what incantation I can substitute in the .repo file for
mirrorlist=http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/mirrors.cgi?osname=el$releasever&basearch=$basearch&dellsysidpluginver=$dellsysidpluginver
to stay on 6.1? Merely swapping 6.1 in for "latest" doesn't work for whatever
reason.
Thanks,
Ryan
