I have been using this script to speed things up in the meantime.
sed -i "s#enabled=1#enabled=0#" /etc/yum.repos.d/dell-omsa-repository.repo && yum -y install dell-system-update && yum -y remove dell_ie_rac python-smbios && yum -y upgrade && srvadmin-services.sh restart

I strongly support this request. We're getting the same issue over many servers. We haven't moved most of our servers from the old Dell repo to DSU. I'm now loathe to do any updates to OMSA until I can be sure each server won't take an inordinate amount of time to unfunge.

With omsa 8.1 (and possibly other older versions) - the following packages would have been installed on a server: python-smbios smbios-utils-python yum-dellsysid As a result of the repo change - servers with omsa 8.1 are now being pushed to 8.3. Unfortunately it does not appear that you have tested this case as a server does not cleanly upgrade to 8.3 under these conditions. You will get dependency errors when libsmbios tries to get upgraded. There is a recent thread with the applicable rpm dependency output. While we can remove these packages since they no longer seem to be needed - your repo change has now broken automatic OS updates on RHEL 6 servers where the dell repos may have previously been configured. I would highly ask that you consider creating a solution to address this via an update to the rpm packages - so as to prevent a scenario where manual remediation is going to be required - and not indirectly perpetuating a security risk. thanks, ed_______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge
