Well, I figured out ONE way to do it....

I edited /etc/yum.repos.d/dell-omsa-repository.repo. Under:

[dell-omsa-indep]

I commented out:

#mirrorlist=http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/mirrors.cgi?osnam
e=el$releasever&basearch=$basearch&native=1&dellsyspluginver=$dellsysidp
luginver

and then hard-coded the $basearch variable like this:

mirrorlist=http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/mirrors.cgi?osname
=el$releasever&basearch=i386&native=1&dellsyspluginver=$dellsysidpluginv
er

Then I did the same in:

[dell-omsa-specific]

Commenting out:

#mirrorlist=http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/mirrors.cgi?osnam
e=el$releasever&basearch=$basearch&native=1
&sys_dev_id=$sys_dev_id&dellsysidpluginver=$dellsysidpluginver

And replacing with:

#mirrorlist=http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/mirrors.cgi?osnam
e=el$releasever&basearch=i386&native=1
&sys_dev_id=$sys_dev_id&dellsysidpluginver=$dellsysidpluginver

32-bit version of OMSA 6.3 now running a PE 1850 running CentOS 5.5
x84_64! Now I can run check_openmanage through Nagios... which is all I
really wanted anyway. ;)

If there's a better way I should have done this, please let me know.

Subject: How to force install of 32-bit OMSA 6.3?

I'm trying to install OMSA 6.3 on CentOS 5.5 x64. I'm aware of the
problems that OMSA 6.3 has with seeing controllers on the 64-bitOS, and
I'm aware that the workaround is to install the 32-bit version. The
problem is that I ran:

wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi |
bash

And now yum only wants to install the 64-bit version of OMSA. What's the
simplest way for me to install the 32-bit version with yum?

Thanks in advance,

Steve
