. On the Microsoft Windows 2008 SP2 SBS operating system, the listener creation link on the Prerequisite checker screen does not work.

One of my misconceptions about the Microsoft virtualization options was that if I wanted to have access to server management tools, I would need to run “regular” (paid) Window Server 2008 so I could install those tools, then enable the Hyper-V role for the virtual clients. It turns out that that is not the case.
My test machine is a Dell PowerEdge 2900. I was able to install and access OpenManage on Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 as follows:
1. Download the latest Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD. I found version 6.1.0 A00 here. Note that this is actually two downloads that must be concatenated before burning the DVD–see the Installation Instructions on the download page.
2. Follow Dell’s article, “Installing Dell OpenManage Software On Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Core and Microsoft Hyper-V Server.” Only install the Managed System Software, not the Management Station Software.
First run the prerequisite checker by running these commands at the command prompt (assuming the DVD is in drive E):
Rpg maker vx ace community resource pack download windows 7. I own 4 other makers thru Steam but not that one.
E:cd SYSMGMTsrvadminwindowsprereqcheckerrunprereqchecks.exe /s
Update 10/12/2010: Path corrected–thanks to comment from Ian N.
The instructions for the prerequisite checker tell you to take certain actions depending on the return code. Use this command to view the return code:
echo Return Code = %ERRORLEVEL%
My Return Code was -2, which, according to this article, means “The operating system is not supported. The Prerequisite Checker will not run.” My hunch is that this is because the software has not been updated to recognize the R2 version of Server 2008. I went ahead and ran the installer anyway:
cd SYSMGMTsrvadminwindowsSystemsManagementmsiexec /i SysMgmt.msi
After agreeing to continue without having run the prerequisite checker, the installation completed successfully.
3. Open the firewall for the OpenManage web interface default port 1311:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name='Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Web GUI' dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=1311
NoteKnowledgebase article 947709 is helpful on the netsh commands. However, do not just cut and paste its examples: as of this writing, the quotation marks are all formatted as closing quotation marks (”), so the commands will fail. Replace those quotation marks with standard “vertical” quotation marks (“).
4. From another computer, open a browser and type in the following URL (be sure to get the “s” on the https):
https://[computer name or IP address]:1311
After adding the required security exception in your browser (due to the self-signed web server certificate), you should now see the familiar Server Administrator web interface:
There are other advantages to using the full version of Windows Server 2008 R2 as the host OS, but Dell OpenManage is available even from the free Hyper-V Server 2008 R2.
OMSA is a web based application to manage DELL PowerEdge Servers. Using OMSA you can perform proactive system monitoring, system diagnosis, troubleshoot hardware issues and configure RAID etc., You can also view and manage hardware’s embedded system management (ESM) log using OMSA.
This is an jumpstart guide that explains how to install Dell OMSA on Linux. I have also provided few screenshots of DELL OMSA web application.
1. Download DELL OMSA
Go to DELL support website -> click on “Drivers & Downloads” -> choose your server model (in my case, I selected PowerEdge 2850) -> choose the operating system -> scroll-down and expand ‘Systems Management’ -> Click on ‘OpenManage Server Administrator Managed Node’ -> Click on OM_5.5.0_ManNode_A00.tar.gz to download it. You can directly download it to your Linux server as shown below.
2. Install DELL OMSA
Perform an express OMSA installation as shown below. After the installation, check /var/log/srvadmin.log for any installation errors.
3. Start DELL OMSA Services
Invoke the srvadmin-services.sh script to start the OMSA services as shown below.
4. Access OMSA from web browser
By default, OMSA web application runs on Port 1311 . Login to OMSA from web using the URL: https://{omsa-server-ip-address}:1311 using root as shown below. Please note that you can login only using HTTPS.
5. Check overall system health of the server
To check the overall system health of various hardware components, expand system menu and click on ‘Main System Chassis’, which will display the health of Memory, CPU etc., as shown below.
6. Clear System Event Log on DELL PowerEdge Servers
Sometimes you will see hardware error messages on the front side of the server even after the problem is fixed. To clear this false alarm, you have to clear the hardware’s Embedded System Management (ESM) Log. To clear hardware event logs, login to DELL OMSA -> Click on Logs TAB -> click on Clear Log.
7. Create RAID (Virtual Disk) group using OMSA
To create a new raid group, click on Storage -> select “Create Virtual Disk” from the drop-down menu next to “PERC 4e/Di”, as shown below. -> Click on Execute -> and follow the on-screen instructions to create a new RAID group.

You can also create RAID using PERC/CERC Bios Configuration Utility as explained in Step-by-Step Guide to Configure Hardware RAID on DELL servers with Screenshots.
Once the RAID group is created, to view the RAID, click on Storage -> “PERC 4e/Di (Embedded)” -> Click on “Virtual Disks” -> Click on “Virtual Disks 0” -> This will display the details of the physical disks of that particular RAID group as shown below.
