Users Guide

NOTE: Install Server Administrator prerequisites before deploying Server Administrator on Linux.

NOTE: If there are both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of OpenSSL libraries installed on a RHEL system, it is

recommended to uninstall the 32-bit version. Also, if there is a symbolic link to libcrypto.so.6, created by

OpenManage Essentials, remove the symbolic link, and then redeploy OpenManage Server Administrator.

3. On Task Target, do one of the following:

• Select a query from the drop-down list, or create a query by clicking the New button.

• Select servers on which you want to run this task and click Next.

4. On Schedule and Credentials, set the schedule parameters, enter user credentials to enable the task.

5. If you want to deploy Server Administrator as a sudo user, select Enable Sudo and update the SSH port number.

NOTE: Before you deploy OMSA using sudo, create an user account, edit the sudoers le by using the visudo

command, and add the following:

• For target systems running a 32-bit operating systems: Cmnd_Alias OMEUPDATE = /bin/tar,/bin/

cat,/opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/omexec,/tmp/LinuxPreInstallPackage/runbada,/tmp/

LinuxPreInstallPackage/omexec <sudo_username> ALL=OMEUPDATE, NOPASSWD:OMEUPDATE.

• For target systems running a 64-bit operating systems: Cmnd_Alias OMEUPDATE = /bin/tar,/bin/

cat,/opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/omexec,/tmp/LinuxPreInstallPackage64/runbada,/tmp/

LinuxPreInstallPackage64/omexec <sudo_username> ALL=OMEUPDATE, NOPASSWD:OMEUPDATE.

NOTE: If OMSA is uninstalled from a system by a root user, before deploying OMSA on that system using sudo,

make sure that all OMSA preinstallation package les are removed from the tmp folder.

NOTE: Deploying OMSA using sudo is not supported for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and ESX targets.

6. Click Finish.
