sudo echo 'deb http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/debian wheezy openmanage' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linux.dell.com.sources.list
Next to verify OMSA packages, add the repository key to apt and make apt aware of the new software repository by issuing the following command.
gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 1285491434D8786F && gpg -a --export 1285491434D8786F | sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update
Next, install one of the following selection of meta-packages to install the OMSA functionality you require. For example, to install all of OMSA: sudo apt-get install srvadmin-all. Refer to table below:
Note, after running sudo apt-get install srvadmin-all on a Dell PowerEdge T300 we received the following errors. The errors are harmless, however a fix is available solve the problem. Follow the two steps below:
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso5.bin for module tg3 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso.bin for module tg3 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3.bin for module tg3
A quick Google search found a simple solution that entailed adding 2 repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list with the following code.
# add repositories nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib # update apt and install linux-firmware apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree
