Hi Jonathan
I am running Dell Openmanage on dom0 of several of my production Dell 
servers which are running Sci. Linux 5.3, similar to Centos, and it is 
working fine. My servers are still running the xen 3.1.2 that comes
with the distro.

Whatever you do, however, don't attempt to install openmanage
in the domU and run it--it makes some nasty hardware calls
that can crash not only the domU but the underlying dom0.
