racadm missing from latest linux repo

Hello,

Thank you for your post. I've raised the issue with our Systems Management team.

I should have a follow up for you early next week.

Hello,

Currently a work-around for this would be to install from the yum repo using the –allowerasing option and then install the rpm version of ractools in a separate operation. 

The RPMs can be extracted from the installer tarball found here:

https://dl.dell.com/FOLDER12236395M/1/Dell-iDRACTools-Web-LX-11.3.0.0-609_A00.tar.gz  (sign file)

Once extracted the RPMs will be in iDRACTools/racadm/RHEL8/x86_64/ and iDRACTools/racadm/RHEL9/x86_64/ respectively.

"Is RACADM no longer going to be included in repositories moving forward, requiring direct downloads instead? Or will it be added back to the repositories at some point? If so, do you know when it might become available again?"

I see there is a new DSU version, however it still does not contain racadm... why? :D

Hello,

I don't have more information than Charles, anyway please follow the workaround to obtain RACADM.

Thanks

@DELL-Marco B​ This is unacceptable. We are a large company with thousands of Dell servers and we heavily rely on DSU.

You break something, you fix something. Please treat this with urgency.

Same here, we also depend on it. Would be much appreciated if it could be fixed ASAP.

Also having serious problems around this.  We've got automation that relies upon it.  Is there any good reason why this package was removed from the DNF repo, of all places?  Surely it's a simple matter of just copying it back?

Any update on this?! This is getting ridiculous at this point.

Hello,

I don't have an ETA on this.

You may try point to an older repo/OMSA that has the RPM in it.

We are. However, this dsu version is also linked to our firmware updates and that means we are now locked to certain versions and our security team is not happy.

@DELL-Marco B​ the same here. That's unacceptable. Please fix it.

Any update? It gets to a point we might have to escalate to Dell managers pretty soon due to this lack of action.
