# Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) Installer for Generation 11 Dell Servers (for Debian/Ubuntu)
# This script worked and was tested on Debian Bookworm (12.10) with Proxmox 8.3.5 running on a R710 Dell server.
#
# OMSA is needed on Generation 11 Dell Servers to adjust RAID arrays.
# OMSA can be difficult to install - especially under a Debian/Proxmox setup.
# This script should help you get it installed.

# No 'dnsutils' or 'net-tools' (dig, nslookup or route) package needed for this command.
#
# Make sure these are in your path.
# They usually reside in /usr/sbin or /usr/bin if you need to set manually:

apt-key add (key) is deprecated

On Debian Bookworm when running apt-key add.

NOTE: RSPAMD is only used as an example. This method should work for any deprecated install instructions for apt-key.

While executing:
wget -O- https://rspamd.com/apt-stable/gpg.key | apt-key add -

The following is observed:

"Key is stored in legacy trusted.gpg keyring (/etc/apt/trusted.gpg), see the DEPRECATION section in apt-key(8) for details."
