Drop back to 6.1; there appear to be some packaging/dependency issues
that are affecting 6.2. I have it mostly working on a 1950 with the
addition of some extra packages - storage controllers are seen and the
web interface seems to work, but I'm not confident everything else does.
From an earlier email I sent to the list:
I've removed all srvadmin rpms, plus the additional ones I
installed,
rebooted then did:
# yum -y install \
srvadmin-all \
srvadmin-storelib-sysfs \
srvadmin-storelib-libpci
Restarting now allows me to get output from "omreport storage
controller"
