Adjective: Comparative form of nerdy: more nerdy.

Openmanage: Failed to start because system is not supported.

I got the following errror, even though the server is a Dell!

 

/etc/init.d/dataeng restart
Stopping Systems Management Data Engine:
Stopping dsm_sa_snmpd:                                     [  OK  ]
Stopping dsm_sa_eventmgrd:                                 [  OK  ]
Stopping dsm_sa_datamgrd:                                  [  OK  ]
Starting Systems Management Data Engine:
Failed to start because system is not supported

To fix:

nano /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/CheckSystemType

Scroll down to:

IsDELLSystem()

And comment the line:

#    "$SMBIOS_UTIL" | grep "OEM String 1" | awk -F":" '{print $2}' | grep -qi "Dell"

Save/exit and it should then work!

/etc/init.d/dataeng restart
