Using Dell OpenManage in Citrix XenServer
Dell Edition Environment
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator components are pre-installed in
Citrix XenServer Dell Edition and cannot be uninstalled or reinstalled.
By default, all installed OpenManage Server Administrator services start
when the XenServer host boots.
To start, stop, restart, or check the status of OpenManage services, log in to
the XenServer local console and run the following commands, as needed:
# srvadmin-services.sh start
# srvadmin-services.sh stop
# srvadmin-services.sh restart
# srvadmin-services.sh status
To disable OpenManage services so that services do not start at boot, log in to
the XenServer local console shell and run the following commands:
# chkconfig --level 3 dsm_om_shrsvc off
# chkconfig --level 3 instsvcdrv off
# chkconfig --level 3 dataeng off
# chkconfig --level 3 dsm_om_connsvc off
# chkconfig --level 3 ipmi off
To enable the disabled OpenManage services, log in to the XenServer local
console shell and run the following commands:
# chkconfig --level 3 dsm_om_shrsvc on
# chkconfig --level 3 instsvcdrv on
# chkconfig --level 3 dataeng on
# chkconfig --level 3 dsm_om_connsvc on
# chkconfig --level 3 ipmi on
