after installing the deb omsa packages on a Debian base omsa seems to start on its own:
~
Checking that /etc/ld.so.conf contains required paths…
Adding to /etc/ld.so.conf: /opt/dell/srvadmin/dataeng/bin
Adding to /etc/ld.so.conf: /opt/dell/srvadmin/hapi/bin
Adding to /etc/ld.so.conf: /opt/dell/srvadmin/oma/bin
Adding to /etc/ld.so.conf: /opt/dell/srvadmin/omsa/bin
Adding to /etc/ld.so.conf: /opt/dell/srvadmin/shared/bin
Adding to /etc/ld.so.conf: /opt/dell/srvadmin/sm
Adding to /etc/ld.so.conf: /opt/dell/srvadmin/sm/dellvl
Loading kernel modules
Starting Systems Management Device Drivers:
Starting ipmi driver:
Starting Systems Management Data Engine:
Starting dsm_sa_datamgr32d:
Starting dsm_sa_eventmgr32d:
~
but you can not get to it via https://localhost:1311/
~
and if you try to (re)start the service, you would get a:
~
# /opt/dell/srvadmin/omil/supportscripts/srvadmin-services.sh start
Unable to find ‘chkconfig’ utility in the PATH, cannot continue.
~
Any tips on how to troubleshoot this problem

Thanks

One thing to note (and that has got me a few times) is that you want to make sure that OMSA is installed in a directory that is part of a filesystem that is mounted *BEFORE* the "start_udev" script runs, which is part of rc.sysinit (at least in RedHat). This means, in every case that I can think of, that it needs be be installed in a directory based off the root filesystem. I used to install OMSA in /opt, but kept wondering why I was getting errors on startup. I discovered that /opt wasn't mounted when rc.sysinit (and thus start_udev) ran. DUH! :) Just a tidbit..... ---Scott Larsen Good article.
