If the target system has an Adaptec controller, the agent deploy task

requires a reboot of the system.

To restart the system: Select the

Reboot the target system if required

option.

If you want to deploy Server Administrator on systems with supported Linux

operating systems, then, create a new task. For deploying Server

Administrator on Linux systems, you must specify the corresponding

signature file. This file is located in the Dell Server Updates DVD.

When you upload the Server Administrator MSI (for Windows) or tar.gz

(for Linux) for the first time, a Server Administrator software update package

is created and for the subsequent agent deploy tasks, you can reuse this

package to deploy Server Administrator on different Dell systems.
