Preparing for the Installation of EKM 3.0 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux
This chapter describes the pre-installation steps for Dell Encryption Key Manager 3.0 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
NOTE: The installation procedure takes approximately 45 minutes. Do not turn off the system until the installation
completes.
To prepare for the installation of EKM 3.0, perform the following steps:
1. Insert the EKM 3.0 installation disk appropriate to your operating system into the system on which you want to
install EKM 3.0.
2. If your system is set to autorun when a DVD is inserted, wait for a moment for the installer to appear. If your system
is not set to autorun, open a terminal with root access and navigate to the folder where the EKM 3.0 DVD is
mounted. Type
./autorun.sh and press Enter.
NOTE: If SELinux is installed and enabled, disable it before starting the installation. Refer to System
Prerequisite Checks.
NOTE: Red Hat operating systems often have the noexec bit set to disable execution of any binaries on the
mounted file systems. If the noexec bit on the mounted DVD ROM is set to disable, then the EKM 3.0 installer
will not be launched from the DVD. To launch the EKM 3.0 installer from the DVD, perform the following steps:
a) Open a terminal session with root access.
b) Unmount the EKM 3.0 DVD.
c) Remount the EKM 3.0 DVD as read-only with noexec disabled by issuing the following commands:
mkdir /media/dellmedia
mount /dev/<EKM 3.0 device><space>/media/dellmedia
cd /media/dellmedia
d) To execute the installer, type ./autorun.sh and press Enter.
The EKM 3.0 installation wizard Welcome screen appears.
