As some of you already know, there are some RPM dependency issues in
OMSA 6.2 which can cause problems (notably the "no controllers found" error
from the storage commands).  I've found a new (to me at least) wrinkle...

After installing it on 2 identical machines, one worked completely and
the other worked except for the storage.  Seeking help via google, I found
the above mentioned threads about dependencies but I had all the packages
installed on both machines...

This bit me because I don't like to install all the packages, only the
ones I want (no web server and such).  So I didn't do the srvadmin-all
package, but rather did individual packages so I could install the least
amount needed for my setup.

To cut to the chase, I found out that no only is it important that you
install all the needed RPMS, but that the order in which you install them
is also critical.  Doing an "rpm -qa --last | grep srvadmin" on the working
machine, I got the order in which they were installed.  On the non-working
machine, I removed all the packages and re-installed them in the same order
as on the working machine.  Et voila, I have two working machines now...

Only took me a week to figure that one out...
