I use Dell OMSA to manage iDrac, and to be able to do that, I need to install it on my Ubuntu 16.04 laptop.
The instructions on the Dell OpenManage page doesn’t specify the correct key servers, so please use the following commands instead to add the correct key:
sudo gpg --keyserver hkps.pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 1285491434D8786F sudo gpg -a --export 1285491434D8786F | sudo apt-key add -
Now add the repo:
sudo echo 'deb http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/ubuntu xenial openmanage' | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linux.dell.com.sources.list
Finally, refresh your packages and install the base package (without the web server):
sudo apt update sudo apt install srvadmin-base srvadmin-idracadm7
If you want more than just the base package, pick any of the following:
srvadmin-all | Install all OMSA components |
srvadmin-base * | Install only base OMSA, no web server |
srvadmin-idrac * | Install components to manage iDRAC |
srvadmin-idrac7 * | Install components to manage iDRAC7 |
srvadmin-idracadm8 | Install components to manage iDRAC8 |
srvadmin-webserver * | Install Web Interface |
srvadmin-storageservices * | Install RAID Management |
dtk-scripts | Install DTK |
dcism | Install iDRAC Service Module |
Enjoy!
