Stefan,
FYI -- I am in a different section of Dell. So I am a consumer of OMSA, much
like you. I have no involvement with OMSA development.
I had to reach out to a co-worker that does more work with RHN than me. To
get the answers to your questions. Here are the official RHN channels for
AppStream for RHEL8:
Base RHEL8.1 appstream RHN channel -- official name is:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - AppStream RPMs x86_64 8.1
RHEL8 appstream latest RHN channel -- official name is:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 for x86_64 - AppStream RPMs x86_64 8
So the first one is the base RHEL8.1 content that comes on the RHEL8.1 install
ISO. It does not have libssh2 RPM. It is also available as this RHN channel.
The second one is the RHN channel that has all the latest updates for RHEL8.x.
Including 8.1. This RHN channel does have the latest libssh2 RPM. I believe
the current latest in this channel is:
libssh2-1.8.0-8.module+el8.0.0+5339+ebcc8ca7.1.x86_6
This content is not available on the RHEL 8.1 install ISO.
So installing dsu on RHEL 8.1 is a matter of timing. If you install OMSA
early in the %post section when you kickstart, it will not be functional.
Because libssh2 RPM is not available yet.
But if you wait until after your new build is subscribed to this second RHN
channel above and then install libssh2 RPM first, then dsu will be fully
functional.

Spike,
How did you configure the AppStream8.latest RHN channel?
I searched all my repos and I only have the AppStream8. Googling
"AppStream8.latest" didn't find anything but your post in an archive.
I worked around this temporarily by installing the CentOS 7 version but used
the el8 versions of it's dependencies.
yum -y install compat-openssl10-1:1.0.2o-3.el8.x86_64
yum -y install
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/libssh2-1.8.0-3.el7.x86_64.rpm
DSU then launched fine.
Thank you,
Steffan Cline

This Bugzilla reports claims:
libssh2 is removed from RHEL-8, see bug #1513312 for details. The
package has actually never been supported in RHEL-8 beyond the virt module.
That is not quite true. It is available in RHEL8.1, in the
AppStream8.latest RHN channel.
$ yum list libssh2

It is true however, that it's not in the base RHEL8 or AppStream8 yum
repos that come with base RHEL 8.1.
It is pretty trivial to install it on RHEL 8.0 and 8.1.
1. Define the yum repo definition file for AppStream8.latest.
2. yum install libssh2.
So if the (RHEL8 version of) dell-system-update RPM requires it, it should
list it as an RPM dependency.

To add to Chris, there is more information here (someone from Dell opened
the bug): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1767908
According to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1767908#c15 (from
another Dell person), "Dell tools has made plans to move to libssh from
libssh2."
Thanks.
