PET300, CENTOS 5.4, OMSA 6.2.
I downloaded DSET 1.8.1 from here
http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/en/dell_system_tool
and chose to install it permanently on hard disk into /opt/dell/dset
Then I issued
# time /usr/bin/clearesm
Dell System E-Support Tool
@Copyright Dell Inc. 2004-2009 Version 1.8.1 build 100
* Collecting Dell OpenManage information ... [Please wait]
There was a problem loading the OMSA driver/service
real 5m1.722s
user 0m1.466s
sys 0m0.056s
#
After this I could see these 2 processes still active (ps ax):
S 0:00 /bin/bash ./omsaliteinstall.sh
D 0:00 rmmod ipmi_devintf --wait
I was connected remotely via telnet.
I issued
# reboot
the system would not reboot correctly, I went to the console and saw it was
stuck at "stopping IPMI drivers".
I wanted to simulate a situation in which I could not go to the console, so
I tried resetting it remotely.
Many network services had been shut down, luckily OMSA web service was still
active, so I used
OMSA -> shutdown -> no os shutdown + power cycle
and the system came back up.
Then I retried the very same thing, but this time in OMSA I chose
OMSA -> shutdown -> OS shutdown first (default setting in OMSA)
this didn't succeed, and after that OMSA wouldn't let me power cycle
anymore, because when going to the shutdown page I got
Operating system shutdown is disabled.
Remote Shutdown Action is disabled
I could only press "shutdown" which wouldn't work.
So I had to walk to the system and manually power cycle it.
The DSET README says
====

NOTE: It is certified only for the above mentioned Dell Systems & operating
systems having OM6.1 on System Under Test(SUT)

Does the above mean I cannot use DSET 1.8.1 with OMSA 6.2?
If so, where do I get a DSET which will work with OMSA 6.2?
I downloaded the DSET from the default link on the offical DSET page, so I
thought I was ok.
Since unloading kernel modules is not always a good thing, should I just
edit the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ipmi and make stop() a noop?
Thanks
