Update 2015-12-17 Right, so instructions below are mostly deprecated, see comments section.
Dell posted fairly clear instructions here http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/ for both Dell Linux Repository and for Dell System Update (DSU)
Generally for Centos/RHEL it boils down to the following steps:
wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/bootstrap.cgi | bash
yum install dell-system-update
dsu --inventory
yum -y install srvadmin-all
service dataeng start
service dsm_om_connsvc start
chkconfig dsm_om_connsvc on
chkconfig dataeng on
I’ll keep below post just for reference.

CLI
dataeng service starts automatically at reboot. If you want to manually start the service, issue the command below.
sudo service dataeng start
Now, you can use omreport, omconfig, and omhelp commands.
For example, you can issue omreport system summary to get details about your system.
You can use omconfig to configure component properties.
omhelp provides help information for commands.
See OpenManage? CLI User’s Guide for comprehensive documentation.
Web Interface
To use web interface, users with appropriate permissions need to be added.
Add users with appropriate permissions to /opt/dell/srvadmin/etc/omarolemap file. See detailed information in the User’s Guide.
Example:john_doe * Administrator
Start the web server.
service dsm_om_connsvc start
Go to https://:1311/ in your browser to access OMSA.
If you want to start dsm_om_connvsc service at boot, issue sudo update-rc.d dsm_om_connsvc defaults command.
