Dell OpenManage

Dockerized OpenManage, built on top of official CentOS images.

Configuration

• container has to run in privilged mode so that the host hardware can be exposed to it.
• specifying --net=host exposes the host's network interfaces to the container, otherwise they will not be available.
• default command: /opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/srvadmin-services.sh restart so that services can start cleanly in case container is stopped and then restarted.
• login credentials: root / password

Where this image has been tested (some more than others)

• RHEL 7
• SLES 12
• CentOS 7
• Ubuntu Server 12.04 & 14.04
• Debian 7 / 8

Run example

$ docker run --privileged -d -p 1311:1311 --restart=always \
    --net=host -v /lib/modules/`uname -r`:/lib/modules/`uname -r` \
    --name=omsa81 jdelaros1/openmanage

UPDATE (12.15.2015): We replace weak Diffie-Hellman ciphers with Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman. Refer to Dockerfile for exact ciphers. Testing is ongoing but so far overall OMSA functionality is not affected. Please report any issues.

UPDATE (11.20.2015): Testing without volume mounting /lib/modules resulted in mixed results across different servers, so I am adding this requirement back.

Once the container starts, give it about 20-25 seconds for all the OpenManage services to start inside the container.

From the CLI, you can run something like docker exec omsa81 omreport system summary or use a browser to go to https://your-server-ip:1311 and use login credentials listed above.

Known Issues

• OS information reported is for the container, not the host.
