Works great for me with an R710 with H700 running Proxmox VE 8.1-2. Thank you so much! At 2:38 you say login with iDRAC user name and password, but i logged in to OMSA using my Proxmox ssh password for root?

Hi, Thank you. PAM users that have root permissions (be in the root group) can login by default. However If you want to change that / not give your PAM user access to it. You can see the following guide: www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/openmanage-server-administrator-v10.0.1/omsa_10.0.1_users_guide_pub/editing-server-administrator-user-privileges-on-linux-operating-systems?guid=guid-167f8744-21ed-4399-82aa-eabb7a706a23&lang=en-us I hope that helps you.

Hi, Nice tutorial, Tho i've got a weird-ish behavior, i can access the OMSA interface with my PAM user, but if i try to launch via CLI omreport -? it gives "Error! User has insufficient privileges to run command." Any Idea?

Hi, when using the CLI, the PAM user has to have root permissions (be in the root group). However If you want to change that / give your user access to it. You can see the following guide: www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/openmanage-server-administrator-v10.0.1/omsa_10.0.1_users_guide_pub/editing-server-administrator-user-privileges-on-linux-operating-systems?guid=guid-167f8744-21ed-4399-82aa-eabb7a706a23&lang=en-us I hope that helps you.

Aye! Thanks! Meanwhile I found a jankier solution by using docker directly on the machine. The problem was that the user I was using in Pam it's root

Can I install Dell OpenManage with iDrac off on Bios?

[@jonomoss]

Hi, yes you can.

​@@jonomoss Do I need an iDRAC Enterprise license? Because mine has expired

[@jonomoss]

Hi there, no it is not required. However some features will not work. I did a quick google search just to make sure and found the following: www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/dell-openmanage-enterprise/ome_p_310_users_guide_drop2/licensing?guid=guid-615a018a-ebd8-4352-92e0-f7b532dbfa7f&lang=en-us
