I’ve recently experienced an issue with Yum updates on some Dell PowerEdge servers which have the Dell OpenManage tools installed.
When running a “yum update” you may see the following transaction errors:
Transaction Check Error:

To resolve this error cut and paste the following to your command line:
rm -rfv /opt/dell/
yum -y remove libsmbios
yum -y remove dell-omsa-repository-2-5.noarch
yum remove openwsman-server openwsman-client Continue reading "LIBSMBIOS errors when running YUM update on Dell PowerEdge"
