Dell OpenManage SNMP Configuration

This page includes notes and references for setting up a Dell PowerEdge server to be monitored by CSCF's nagios system via OpenManage SNMP.

Ubuntu Configuration

1. Install SNMP Daemon

   sudo apt-get install snmpd

2. Install the CSCF SNMP configuration files

   sudo wget https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/infrastructure/setups/services/snmp/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf -O /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
   sudo wget https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/cscf/infrastructure/setups/services/snmp/etc/default/snmpd -O /etc/default/snmpd

3. Add Dell's OpenManage repository

   sudo echo "deb http://linux.dell.com/repo/community/ubuntu `lsb_release -s -c` openmanage" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linux.dell.com.sources.list

4. Verify OMSA packages, add repository key

   sudo gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key 1285491434D8786F
   sudo gpg -a --export 1285491434D8786F | sudo apt-key add -

5. Make apt aware of our changes

   sudo apt-get update

6. Install OMSA:

   sudo apt-get install srvadmin-base

7. Start the dataeng service (this will automatically happen on reboot already but it doesn't start initially)

   sudo service dataeng start

8. Add OMSA capability to SNMP: "

   sudo echo "# Add DELL OMSA capability to SNMP" >>/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf && echo "smuxpeer .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.10892.1"  >>/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

9. Re enable SNMP smux capability by editing /etc/default/snmpd. Replace

   SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -g snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid'

   with

   SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -g snmp -p /var/run/snmpd.pid'

10. Restart SNMP

    sudo service snmpd restart

ESXi Configuration

1. Ensure that the host has SSH enabled and is in maintenance mode
2. Download OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-7.1.0-5304.VIB-ESX50i_A00.zip from http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/555/DriverDetails/DriverFileFormats?DriverId=Y0WHR
3. Copy the file (using SCP or SFTP) to /tmp on the target host
4. Install the VIB file

   esxcli software vib install –d /tmp/OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-7.1.0-5304.VIB-ESX50i_A00.zip

5. Reboot the host, remove it from maintenance mode

Nagios Configuration

The check_openmanage plugin is installed on nagios.cscf and can be located at /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_openmanage. To have a host monitored for Dell OpenManage, add the "Dell PowerEdge OpenManage" service in E&I.

To check your setup configuration, you can run the following on nagios.cscf (replacing HOSTNAME with the machine's hostname or IP address):

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_openmanage -H HOSTNAME -C UofW -d
