Installing Remote Access Software on a

Management Station

You can access the CMC using the Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), or serial

console utilities provided on your operating system or using the Web

interface.

If you want to use remote RACADM from your management station, you will

need to install it. Your system includes the Dell Systems Management Tools

and Documentation DVD. This DVD includes the following components:

• DVD root - Contains the Dell System Build and Update Utility

• SYSMGMT - Contains the systems management software products

including Dell OpenManage Server Administrator

• Docs - Contains documentation for systems, systems management

software products, peripherals, and RAID controllers

• SERVICE - Contains the tools you need to configure your system, and

delivers the latest diagnostics and Dell-optimized drivers for your system

For information about installing Server Administrator software, see your

Server Administrator User's Guide.

Log on as root to the system running a supported Red Hat Enterprise

Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system where you want

to install the managed system components.

Insert the

Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation

DVD into

the DVD drive.

If necessary, mount the DVD to a location of your choice using the mount

command or a similar command.

mounted with the

-noexec mount option. This option does not allow you to run

any executable from the DVD. You need to manually mount the DVD-ROM and then

run the executables.

Navigate to the SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts directory.

Execute the srvadmin-install.sh script as follows:

sh srvadmin-install.sh --express
