Can't get to Dell OMSA webpage on my server

Question

I'm running CentOS 6.3 x64 on a Dell PowerEdge R520. I have run the following two commands as per This Wiki

sudo wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi | bash  
sudo yum install srvadmin-all

All the related services appear to be running. But, when I try to access

http://myserver:1311

the page doesn't resolve.
When I try to access the webpage from the physical server, I am presented with a page that has 4 boxes and a question mark.

Any Help Is Much Appreciated.

EDIT: Apparently I suck a QA-ing.
The problem was what when I tried to access the OMSA webpage for my server from another machine, the page would be "unable to load". But, if I open a web browser while I'm at the server that I have OMSA installed on, then I am presented with a page containing four boxes and a question mark. Turns out that I just didn't have the appropriate ports open. My apologies to you all for not being clear and thank you all for your help.

You might want to spell out exactly what "doesnt resolve" mean. Do you mean the hostname or is there a 404 or connection refused? You might also want to explain what "physical server" means. Is there some virtualisation invoved, do you mean different server or what? — eckes, Dec 13 '12 at 02:07

It sounds like you need to open port 1311 in your firewall. (You may also want to restrict it to specific IP address ranges or other criteria, but this should get you going.)

That did it! I had to explicitly allow port 1311 and http and https. Thanks for the help! – Chris Powell Dec 12 '12 at 19:30

That link is an https link by default. Have you tried using https:// instead of http://? Also, do you have an iptables rule that would block an inbound connection on port 1311?

Accessing the page at https:// also does not yield anything. I do not have an iptables block for port 1311. – Chris Powell Dec 12 '12 at 19:10
My only reject line reads: REJECT all -- 0.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0/0 reject-with icmp-host-prohibited – Chris Powell Dec 12 '12 at 19:13
That is going to drop all traffic... – MDMarra Dec 12 '12 at 19:19

If you just installed omsa, be sure the service is started

On my CentOS 6 box, the script to call is:

/opt/dell/srvadmin/sbin/srvadmin-services.sh start
