So we have an R310 server running Server 2008 R2 SP1 that was running OMSA 6.5. I saw that 7.4.0.2 was recommended under the Drivers & Downloads page so I decided to install that. I have to install 7.4.0 first as the 7.4.0.2 file is just a patch. I got 7.4.0 installed fine and it works fine as well. However, I then tried to install the patch and ran into a problem. The patch was hanging at the "Stopping Services" screen and never moved.
I checked ot services and found that the DSM SA Data Manager service was hung and would not stop. I couldn't stop it manually and the update program couldn't stop it either. I ended up having to kill it via Taskkill. This allowed the installer to continue but if went a bit further and then rolled back the changed and didn't install.
Since the services were now stopped I tried it again but it did the same thing.
I tried uninstalling OMSA completely and installing it fresh with reboots between each step but nothing is changing. The reason I'm trying to get it updated is our OME server doesn't ever get the updated info on BIOS versions and things like that with the 7.4.0.2 version. OME thinks this server is out of date on most things even though the server itself shows it's up to date.
Anyone have any idea why this one service isn't working properly and how I can get the x.2 patch installed?
