I ran into the same problem of missing ipmi/bios data a few weeks ago while writing gentoo ebuilds for OMSA, there are a couple of things you can check: make sure the following are compiled into the kernel or loaded as modules: CONFIG_IPMI_HANDLER CONFIG_IPMI_DEVICE_INTERFACE CONFIG_IPMI_SI CONFIG_IPMI_WATCHDOG CONFIG_IPMI_POWEROFF CONFIG_DELL_RBU Check /opt/dell/srvadmin/etc/srvadmin-hapi/ini/dchipm.ini and make sure it has the following: hapi.openipmi.driverstarted=yes hapi.openipmi.issupportedversion=yes hapi.openipmi.driverpattern=ipmi_ hapi.openipmi.basedriverprefix=ipmi_si hapi.openipmi.poweroffmodule=ipmi_poweroff hapi.openipmi.powercyclemodule=ipmi_poweroff hapi.openipmi.ispoweroffcapable=no hapi.allow.user.mode=no I'm not sure what process is supposed to populate that file, its certainly not any of the pre/post install rpm scripts and nobody answered any of my questions about the problems I had with OMSA on Gentoo, but manually populating the file as above fixed the missing data in OMSA on several different servers.
