All I get is a message that says: Unsupported architecture: 7F. So I'm guessing it checks the machine before it installs. I am going to have to try 4.5, again. I tried it once and had a problem with libraries.

From the sounds of things, I'm blazing new trails for the group. There are SNMP trap plugins for Nagios but there are a bunch of them and I was hoping someone knew which was better.<br><br>I have a boot disk with everything installed that I
downloaded from Dell's site. I'm going to boot one of the boxes with it and see what it comes up with for support. There is a possibility of the thing working but I'm not holding out much hope.<br><br>Cheers! <br>Bob<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: David J.

According to ?Dell's site OM 4.5 is avaiol for a<br>server that ancient. but have you even TRIED to<br>instlal OM-5.2 on the box?<br><br>to monitor by nagios, run snmptrad on a box and have<br>that log through syslog, and use nagios's syslog<br>monitor (ugly hack but works). though I think hte new<br>current version of nagios accepts traps directly.<br><br><br>--- Robert Meyer <<a ymailto="mailto:meyer_rm@yahoo.com" href="mailto:meyer_rm@yahoo.com">meyer_rm@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<br><br>> I'm in the process of upgrading the O/S on a bunch<br>> of older Dell (2450, 6300) PowerEdge servers.
