I was able to do the "32-bit OMSA on a 64-bit system" workaround on two PE1850s and one PE2950, all running CentOS 5.5 64-bit. Everything seems to be running fine on all three servers.
The 1850s each have a DRAC4/I, so the DRAC4 probe on startup finds them and is happy. But the 2950 running has a DRAC5, not a DRAC4, yet the startup script still seems to be looking for a DRAC4: DRAC4 probe: DRAC4 pci device not found [FAILED] Starting Systems Management Device Drivers: Starting dell_rbu: [ OK ] Starting ipmi driver: Already started [ OK ] Starting Systems Management Data Engine: Starting dsm_sa_datamgrd: [ OK ] Starting dsm_sa_eventmgrd: [ OK ] Starting DSM SA Shared Services: [ OK ] Starting DSM SA Connection Service: [ OK ] The good news is that OMSA is finding the DRAC5 just fine - I can see it when I log in to the OMSA web interface. Any way to shut off the DRAC4 probe on a system that doesn't have a DRAC4? Or am I stuck with the (admittedly benign) FAILED message?

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.
