I am having this exactly problem. My solution has been to re-run =
srvadmin-services.sh start again anytime these daemons stop running. =
They will then continue to run for some short period of time before =
failing again.
I have only one node that refuses to ever respond to these commands, and =
the daemons quit without any warning.
I called Dell support with regards to this topic, and was told basically =
that since SL5.3 is NOT a support platform, that no one from Linux =
So what is a supported platform?

Services was going to talk to me about this topic. He also told me that =
I'd have to purchase a higher level of support, as the baseline support =
contract only supports the hardware and doesn't promise anything about =
the software at all.
So, let me know if you come up with anything resembling a solution to =
this. My work-around with srvadmin-services.sh is not elegant, and =
isn't a sure-fire solution either.
Cheers,

I have a system that I just got, it's a Dell PE R710 with the new H700 =
RAID card. I installed it with SL5.3 (Our current version.) and when =
loading the srvadmin tools (directly from the Dell site) I have been =
finding that the daemons don't continue to run. Here's a small snippet =
from my system log:

Apr 23 12:33:50 xxxxxxxx Server Administrator: Instrumentation Service =
EventID: 1001 Server Administrator startup complete
Apr 23 12:33:51 xxxxxxxx dataeng: dsm_sa_eventmgrd shutdown succeeded
Apr 23 12:33:58 xxxxxxxx dataeng: dsm_sa_datamgrd shutdown succeeded
Apr 23 12:33:59 xxxxxxxx instsvcdrv: dell_rbu device driver unloaded
=20
After the start process finishes (first line), the next three lines =
show the daemons shutting down. It continues to try to respawn the =
services only to have them continue to die.
=20
The start sequence is:
/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/srvadmin-service.sh start
[short pause........]
omreport storage vdisk
[a normal output from the omreport about vdisks.]
[another short pause.....]
omreport storage vdisk
[error, can't find any controllers]
=20
It is at this point, you can see the dataeng trying to restart the =
dsm_sa daemons over and over again. (Clarification, they start then =
stop.)
=20
I built a RHEL5.3 system and the tools don't seem to be having a =
problem.
=20
Before I go digging into it much more I thought I'd ask if anyone else =
has had any experience with this problem.

Thanks for everyone's time and use of the forum.
