Dell OM not working on Nagios management server

Post by itutd »

Nagios XI 2011R2.4
Dell OMSA v7.0
The server that runs as our Nagios Management server has Dell OMSA 7.0 installed, I am unable to get to the server administrator via port 1311 and cannot get any inventory information in the IT Assistant console. I do not get any errors and have reinstalled the Dell OMSA. I am guessing that the Nagios installation had something to do with this.
HAs anyone seen this issue before, is so is there a fix?

Thank You

Have you looked at iptables to see if the port is still open?

Code: Select all

iptables -L
You may also be able to test if iptables is the cause by temporarily disabling it and see if you can access the interface

Code: Select all

service iptables stop

I believe that iptables is the linux firewall , correct? if so we disable that as part of our build.


[root@nagxi01p scripts]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:http
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:https
REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination

Ok, if you disabled it before The Nagios XI install this is likely the problem.

The output you showed basically is showing that iptables is running and is not allowing the access you mentioned.

If you want if off you should run

Code: Select all

service iptables stop
chkconfig iptables off
