Dell OpenManage?

[jhbball]

Hey guys, I figured I'd post this here.

Has anyone had any experience installing Dell Openmanage in a linux environment? I'm running SUSE Enterprise 10, and I'm looking to install Openmanage so I can monitor the harddrives, temps, etc.


I can't find good installation instructions for it. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

It's been a couple years, but I believe there is a directory full of rpms on one of the Dell OpenManage CDs, and you just install all those rpms. I usually just used the Server Manager install CD that does the raid, partition, and OS install though, which also automatically installs OpenManage.

Dumb question, after installation, how do you access the web interface? Dell's website is horrible for explaining this sort of thing.
