[dedicated thread] Dell Open Manage Appliance (OME)
-
@stormi TLDR: xen-blkfront and xen-netfront drivers are missing
More info here: https://blog.ataxya.net/add-xen-driver-to-ome-dell-open-manage-enterprise/ -
@stormi Also, some bit of code are hardcoded with /dev/sd*, I changed that to /dev/xvd*
-
@AtaxyaNetwork I understand it would be a lot of work to make a new XVA every time Dell updates the appliance. Would it be possible to write a shell script that we could copy to the appliance and run after the fact that could change the /dev/sda to /dev/xvda in the needed files perhaps? I can try running it on my updated appliance you sent me, im just not sure where the drives are being referenced.
Something like
sed -i -e 's/sda/xvda/g' /etc/whatever.conf? -
@flakpyro it's a possibility, but I don't know how dell manage it appliance. But worth to try !
-
@AtaxyaNetwork
BTW...how in the world did you add the guest tools? I messed around with that while watching two movies a few Sundays ago and finally gave up! -
@AtaxyaNetwork are you able to list the files that require these drive name modifications? I can try changing them on the latest updated version of the appliance.
-
@archw I added them in live mode, when I was chrooed in the SLES disk. But I have a problem with SELinux, sometimes the tools are not working because SELinux block the service. For now, I deactivated SELinux, but I don't like this workaround.
@flakpyro the two files are
/opt/dell/omc/utilities/tui/bin/ome_disk_config.sh /opt/dell/mcsi/appliance/scripts/appliance_ressource.sh -
I just updated my appliance to the latest version, and found a way to add ssh support on it.
If someone want the latest version, ping me ! -
@AtaxyaNetwork
I do! -
@archw let me export it and put it in my Nextcloud, and I'll send the link in DM
-
@AtaxyaNetwork That's amazing. Thank you so much for working on this project. Can I also get the latest update with added SSH support?
-
@AtaxyaNetwork Amazing!
Will you be posting an updated blog entry on how you managed to convert OME over to XCP? Could I get a link to the appliance too?
Thanks a million for this. -
@joncuddy @pctechsolution @archw Link send in DM
-
@AtaxyaNetwork could you please DM me a link to the current appliance you've been working on? I just started going through the same before coming across your blog.
-
@reiichi001 Link sent in DM
-
@AtaxyaNetwork Still testing latest version. So far working very nice including the SSH. Next trying to import a wildcard SSL but having some issues.
-
@pctechsolution Thanks for the feedback !
Do you have any error messages about the SSL issue ? -
@AtaxyaNetwork I'm not able to import a wildcard SSL from say like GoDaddy. Or not sure how to quickly sign my own cert without having a signing server.
-
@pctechsolution unfortunately I don't know how dell is managing SSL cert. I'll try to take a look
-
Can I get a link to the download?
