Hi Jacobson,

Based on below email, looks like you have installed OMSA 9.1.0 on your system. 
OMSA Command line utility helps you to configure the "Asset Tag" for your 
system. I recommend you to leverage already installed OMSA utility. 

Here is the command to configure the Asset Tag:
If your server is prior to 13th Generation then use this command: omconfig 
chassis info index=0 tag=<String>
If Your server is 13th Generation or later then use this command: omconfig 
chassis biossetup attribute=assetag seting=<String>.
Please refer OMSA Command Line User guide for more details: 
https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/us/en/04/dell-openmanage-server-administrator-9.1/om_9.1_command_line_interface_guide/introduction?guid=guid-800c0f9c-94f9-4893-ab05-1c3754260261&lang=en-us

Due to some reason, If you have uninstalled OMSA on your system then you can 
safely remove the libsmbios (libsmbios-2.3.1-2757.12163.el6.x86_64) package 
which got installed along with OMSA. Now, you should be able to install 
"smbios-sys-info" without conflict. 

Let us know if this helps.

Regards,
Chandra

Subject: [Linux-PowerEdge] set asset tag: Dell libsmbios conflict with
        EPEL6   libsmbios

I want to set the asset tag for my systems, but I'm finding that the utility to 
do so, "smbios-sys-info" cannot be installed due to a library conflict with the 
Dell-provided libsmbios in OMSA (see below).

 

Is there a workaround for this?

--> Finished Dependency ResolutionError:  Multilib version problems found.
This often means that the root
       cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
       pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:

         1. You have an upgrade for libsmbios which is missing some
            dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
            solve this by installing an older version of libsmbios of the
            different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
            yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
            requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
            --exclude libsmbios.otherarch ... this should give you an error
            message showing the root cause of the problem.

         2. You have multiple architectures of libsmbios installed, but
            yum can only see an upgrade for one of those arcitectures.
            If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
            can remove the one with the missing update and everything
            will work.

         3. You have duplicate versions of libsmbios installed already.
            You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.

       ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
       this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
       do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
       much more problems).

       Protected multilib versions: libsmbios-2.2.26-3.el6.i686 != 
libsmbios-2.3.1-2757.12163.el6.x86_64non-zero return code
