[dedicated thread] Dell Open Manage Appliance (OME)

flakpyro

I finally had some time to test the latest OME appliance you created. It booted up with version 4.3.x and it it appeared that i could in fact install plugins if i wanted! It prompted me to update to 4.4.1.2 which i did and which was sucessful! Sadly this looks to have overwrote whatever changes you had made as now after a reboot it will not let me install plugins any longer, and displays the usual error about disk space. The good news is that the guest tools and SSH access remain!

The OME VM is not configured with enough disk space to support this plugin. 400 GB of disk space must be allocated to the VM to support the appliance and all plugins (including this one). The VM has 0 GB allocated, 400 GB is required for the appliance and all other installed plugins

I attempted to edit the files you listed above, replacing references to /dev/sd?? to /dev/xvd?? and that seemed to fix it!

@flakpyro Good news ! Thanks for your feedback

I've been playing around with SSL certs. OME has never allowed for wildcard cert to be used or I've never been able to get it to work. (.PFX) Since the master @AtaxyaNetwork was able to enable SSH, it was pretty easy with modifying apache config and finding where they store certs. Thank you again @AtaxyaNetwork We are still testing this out but looks like it's been working so far.

CRT files get placed in /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/
KEY files get placed in /etc/apache2/ssl.key/

/etc/apache2/conf.d/ssl.conf is the config for it.

If you edit you can see the locations of the certs. I use a different name then current cert or back it up

Line 116 SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/YOUR CERT.crt
Line 123 SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.key/YOUR KEY.key
Line 132 SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/YOUR CHAIN.crt (I'm using GoDaddy wildcard cert)

after updating config file
sudo service apache2 restart

Can confirm that OME 4.5 works, installation plugins and tools works.

@AtaxyaNetwork Can I get a download link?

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!

@TheMonkeyBrain Hi !

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

@AtaxyaNetwork
Did try to change those files and add the missing drivers, but couldn't get it to work with plugins.
I think I will just have a look at you image when I have it and see what I am missing
