OMSA

Tricks to getting OMSA to work without a hitch.

Disable I/O protections by adding the line below to /etc/sysctl.conf

kernel.grsecurity.disable_priv_io = 0

In each of the OMSA /etc/init.d scripts remove this code:

## this script checks if you are executing on a supported system
##
SYSCHECK_SCRIPT=/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/CheckSystemType

## check for the presence of script. This is must to continue
##
if [ -f ${SYSCHECK_SCRIPT} ]; then
. ${SYSCHECK_SCRIPT}
else
echo "${SYSCHECK_SCRIPT} not found. Cannot proceed. Exiting.."
exit
fi

Remove this code:

# check if you are executing on a supported system
IsThisSupportedGeneration
RETVAL=$?
if [ $RETVAL != 0 ];
then
# make an entry into syslog and console
logger -t dsm_om_shrsvc -s "${PROGRAM_NAME} cannot start on an unsupported system. See the Dell Systems Software Support Matrix for a list of supported systems."
return $RETVAL
fi

Also disable this subrouting by simply putting a return after the first line.
