Fix for OpenManage 7.3.2 issue

ERROR: (SNMP) OpenManage is not installed or is not working correctly

1. After upgrading OpenManage to version 7.3.2 on your server,OpenManage service checks from your monitoring tool(Nagios, Zabbix or op5) might fail and display an error message such as :
   • ERROR: (SNMP) OpenManage is not installed or is not working correctly
2. To fix this issue, log on to your server as root and run the following commands:
   • sed -r -i 's/^(SNMP)=disable$/\1=enable/' /opt/dell/srvadmin/etc/srvadmin-omilcore/install.ini (Here we are enabling SNMP)
   • Remove dcsnmp.off file : rm /opt/dell/srvadmin/var/lib/srvadmin-deng/dcsnmp.off
   • cd /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/
   • Restart the server admin services : srvadmin-services.sh restart
   • Restart snmp daemon : service snmpd restart
3. Now recheck the OpenManage services in your monitoring tool(Nagios, Zabbix or op5)

How to install NRPE agent(Using Yum) on a Linux machine?

Download and install repo packages:

# rpm -Uvh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

# rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm 

Now start the procedure:

1. Install the below packages
   • # yum install nrpe nagios nagios-plugins-all
   • # chkconfig nrpe on
2. The nrpe configuration file is : /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
3. Make the necessary changes to the nrpe config file, so that Nagios server can communicate to the client machine.
   • # vim /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
   • allowed_hosts= 127.0.0.1,<Nagios server IP address>
4. Also, define the below commands in the same nrpe.cfg file as shown below. So that you can use them while adding these to Nagios server for monitoring:
   • command[check_disk]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w 10% -c 5% --local -X tmpfs -X none
   • command[check_memory]=/usr/local/sbin/check_memory.pl -C -u -w 90 -c 95
5. Save and exit
6. Restart nrpe service after the modifications done to the nrpe.cfg file.
   • # /etc/init.d/nrpe restart
7. Check whether the port 5666 is listening on localhost (the machine in which NRPE agent is installed) or not.
   • # netstat -an | grep 5666
   • tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5666 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
8. Check whether you are able to telnet to port 5666 from Nagios server or not
   • # telnet <Client IP> 5666
9. If telnet is not listening to port 5666 from Nagios server, then enable the port by writing below iptable rule:
   • Stop iptables: # /etc/init.d/iptables stop
   • Paste the below rule in the iptables file (# vi /etc/sysconfig/iptables)
   • -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 5666 -j ACCEPT
   • Save and exit.
   • Start iptables: /etc/init.d/iptables start
10. Now check whether you are able to telnet to port 5666 from Nagios server or not
    • # telnet <Client IP> 5666
