====== OpenManage on Dell With Debian amd64 ======
OpenManage has already been packaged into a deb file:

<uri strref="http://linux.dell.com/debian_9g.shtml"/>
<p>Add</p>
<code>
deb ftp://ftp.sara.nl/pub/sara-omsa dell sara
</code>
to your /etc/apt/sources.list file

You will need 32-bit versions of the pam libraries.  To keep things neat, I created a simple package of the required libs

<code>
# dpkg -L lib32-pam
/.
/emul
/emul/ia32-linux
/emul/ia32-linux/lib
/emul/ia32-linux/lib/security
/emul/ia32-linux/lib/security/pam_unix.so
/emul/ia32-linux/lib/security/pam_nologin.so
/emul/ia32-linux/lib/libselinux.so.1
/emul/ia32-linux/lib/libsepol.so.1
</code>
In my case, /opt is not a separate partition and it too small for OpenManage.  I move /opt to /usr and create a symlink in its place.

<code>
mv /opt /usr
ln -s /usr/opt /opt

aptitude update; aptitude -y install dellomsa
</code>
The OpenManage web interface is not added to startup.  You will need to start it manually as well as add it at boot time.

<code>
/etc/init.d/dsm_om_shrsvc start
/etc/init.d/dsm_om_connsvc start

update-rc.d dsm_om_shrsvc defaults
update-rc.d dsm_om_connsvc defaults
</code>
Finally, it is necessary to tweak /etc/pam.d/omauth to use the 32-bit version of the pam libraries.

<code>
auth       required     /lib32/security/pam_unix.so nullok
auth       required     /lib32/security/pam_nologin.so
account    required     /lib32/security/pam_unix.so nullok
</code>
You should now be able to log in as your root user (to give you full permissions) <uri strref="https://ip.add.re.ss:1311"/>
