Last month I updated all the firmware of my server PowerEdge 2900 III implying the upgrade of the utility Dell OpenManage Server Administration (OMSA) as I explained here.
Since I was late of a couple of months on the versions, it raised a couple of errors that I was thinking to avoid by maintaining up-to-date the OMSA version. Today a new version as been released, the 6.5, let’s have it installed.
First, download from the Dell Drivers & Download Center. Then it should be a simple run of setup.sh script, since according to the documentation coming within the package, it is able to upgrade from a n-1 version (my current version is OMSA6.4).
A) Once gunziped and untared the downloaded package, run the setup.sh, unfortunately, it failed in my case :
[root@hercules /nfs/software/Utils/dell/OpenManage/6.5_RHEL5]# ./setup.sh

error: Failed dependencies:

[root@hercules /nfs/software/Utils/dell/OpenManage/6.5_RHEL5]#
B) Trying to remove that RPM, it also failed :
[root@hercules /nfs/software/Utils/dell/OpenManage/6.5_RHEL5]# rpm -e srvadmin-racadm5
error: Failed dependencies:
srvadmin-racadm5 = 6.4.0 is needed by (installed) dell_ie_rac_5-6.4.0-1.23.1.el5.x86_64
C) Trying to remove that last one also failed :
[root@hercules /nfs/software/Utils/dell/OpenManage/6.5_RHEL5]# rpm -e dell_ie_rac_5-6.4.0-1.23.1.el5.x86_64
error: Failed dependencies:
dell_ie_rac_5 is needed by (installed) dell_ft_install-1.1-1.noarch
D) Finally, that the root one, this package is the installer utility for the firmware update, it can be re-installed later on, let’s remove all these RPMs :
[root@hercules /nfs/software/Utils/dell/OpenManage/6.5_RHEL5]# rpm -e dell_ft_install-1.1-1.noarch
[root@hercules /nfs/software/Utils/dell/OpenManage/6.5_RHEL5]# rpm -e dell_ie_rac_5-6.4.0-1.23.1.el5.x86_64
[root@hercules /nfs/software/Utils/dell/OpenManage/6.5_RHEL5]# rpm -e srvadmin-racadm5
E) Now the setup. sh must be successful :
[root@hercules /nfs/software/Utils/dell/OpenManage/6.5_RHEL5]# ./setup.sh

G) Now, from a web browser, check the OMS version within the default url port 1311 (https://hercules.phoenix-nga:1311/servlet/OMSALogin?msgStatus=null): 
Done ! Version has been updated to 6.5.
H) Since I removed dell_ft_install-1.1-1.noarch, I reinstall it again, it will reinstall the all three RPMs uninstalled earlier to get OMSA upgraded :
