I run an automatic provisioning and installation service via cobbler for our RedHat installs. Now as my laziness increases, I am trying to find a way to auto-configure a few extra things. I would like for the script to detect whether it is on a PowerEdge system and if so link in the Dell Repositories, install OpenManage and install the firmware tools. What I can't figure out is a way to reliably know that the system is a Dell PowerEdge system. I could do something like dmidecode -s system-product-name and grep -i for poweredge (in loose terms), but are all PowerEdge servers supported by OpenManage? Is there a better way to do this?
On a related note I am trying to do the same thing for the DRAC cards in the systems, I would like a way to detect that a DRAC card is present and if so run a set of commands. I can do this for a a DRAC 5 pretty reliably using lsusb -d 0x413c:0000 which correlates to the DRAC 5 cards, however the iDRAC6 cards don't seem to have this option available. Does anyone know of a way to automagically detect their presence?
