Here's the solution working for me,
1. Mirror dell repo according to your hardware and OS (2950, R410 and R710
in my case for hardware, and RHEL only for OS)
rsync -avHz --delete-after --delete-excluded --include pe2950/ --include
per410/ --include per710 --exclude "/hardware/OMSA_5.*/" --exclude
"/hardware/OMSA_6.0.*/" --exclude "/hardware/OMSA_6.1/" --exclude
/hardware/beta/ --exclude "suse1*/" --exclude "rh40*/" --exclude
"pe[[:digit:]]*/" --exclude "pe[rmt][[:digit:]]*/"
rsync://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware /path/to/local/mirror
The local mirror space is 7.3G here.
2. Create yum repo config
[dell-omsa-indep]
name=Dell OMSA repository - Hardware independent
type=rpm-md
baseurl=http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/platform_independent/rh50_64
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/RPM-GPG-KEY-dell
http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/RPM-GPG-KEY-libsmbios
enabled=1
failover=priority
bootstrapurl=http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi
[dell-omsa-specific]
name=Dell OMSA repository - Hardware specific
type=rpm-md
baseurl=http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/per710/rh50_64
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/RPM-GPG-KEY-dell
http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/RPM-GPG-KEY-libsmbios
enabled=1
failover=priority
bootstrapurl=http://localmirror/dell/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi
Note, the above is for a R710 server with Centos x86_64 OS, thus the
/rh50_64 in the baseurl of dell-omsa-indep, and /per710/rh50_64 in the
baseurl of dell-omsa-specific. You should modify yours according to
your server's specification and OS.
