I rebuild a new OME appliance with the latest version (4.7)
What i did on the rebuild:

• Via live CD
  • add xen-blkfront and xen-netfront driver, and rebuild the initrd
  • change root password
  • activate SSH.
• Via TUI
  • Change admin password
  • Set interface to DHCP
• Via SSH

sed -i -e 's/sda/xvda/g' /opt/dell/omc/utilities/tui/bin/ome_disk_config.sh
sed -i -e 's/sda/xvda/g' /opt/dell/mcsi/appliance/scripts/appliance_resources.sh
bash /mnt/Linux/install.sh # To install XCP-ng tools

As usual, please send a DM if you want the link to the VHD

Also, if you want to build it yourself, the driver are here

• https://cecilemorange.fr/drivers/xen-netfront.ko
• https://cecilemorange.fr/drivers/xen-blkfront.ko

Feedback is welcome !

(Disclamer: This build is something I create on my free time and to help people who have difficulty running Dell appliances on XCP-ng. I do not guarantee a fully functional appliance, but I do my best to make it work. If you have a support contract with Dell and require official support for OME, please contact Dell and request compatibility with XCP-ng.)

I have made upgrade form 4.5 -> 4.7, before update I have uninstall all plugins than upgrade to 4.7. Apply fixes and install plugins.

@tiki1469 i'll reupload the drivers somewhere, i'll ping you when it's ready

I got to this part of the guide located at https://blog.ataxya.net/add-xen-driver-to-ome-dell-open-manage-enterprise/

....and those links don't work for me. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.

I forgot your previous post about:

You'll need to modify two files (via SSH):
    /opt/dell/omc/utilities/tui/bin/ome_disk_config.sh
    /opt/dell/mcsi/appliance/scripts/appliance_ressource.sh

In these files, replace /dev/sd with /dev/xvd.

I went and made these changes, and now the Data drive is loading after doing the drive scan.

I should mention that doing this BEFORE first logging into the OME web interface and completing the initialization seems to be best (no further errors appear once logged in).

I rebuild a new OME appliance with the latest version (4.6)
Dell decided to give this appliance Proxmox, Nutanix and OpenShift compatibility, but no XCP-ng yet... If someone from Dell want to reach out about this, please contact me !

A new patch version of the OME appliance is now available

What I changed:

• Add xen-blkfront and xen-netfront driver
• Add guest tool (so RAM/network is reported, soft shutdown is working)
• /dev/sd* is replaced by /dev/xvd*
• Remove grub password
• Change admin and root password
• SSH is now enabled
• SElinux is working correctly
• DHCP is enabled by default

As usual, please send a DM if you want the link to the vhd

Feedback is welcome !

Do you have any buy me a coffee links? lol

I just need to add the tool and ssh support, and the patched version should be available tomorrow

I didn't see that a new version was released
I'll try to rebuild one from scratch with the latest version, maybe they changed something

If people reading this thread want the last version, please ping me here !

I was able to follow your steps, got GRUB but even after 30 minutes my VM still hasn't booted, with ample CPU/mem assigned. Just a flashing cursor and small bit of occasional disk activity.

Can you also share the link with me?

PS Nice to see you are using Bookstacj as well. I really like that tool for my online notes and howto writeups

Let me find the link I had or reupload the file. I'll give it to you via DM ASAP

If you need to uplaod the appliance, you need to replace sda to xvda on this two files:

    /opt/dell/omc/utilities/tui/bin/ome_disk_config.sh
    /opt/dell/mcsi/appliance/scripts/appliance_ressource.sh

Would it also be possible to get an updated guide, so we don't have to reach out to you for a new version?

Thanks for the great work!
