NOTE: On the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x operating system, DVDs are auto-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 and then run executables.
NOTE: Ensure that you install Server Instrumentation or Remote Enablement before installing Remote Access Controller or Storage Management.
NOTE: If you choose to install the Remote Enablement feature, ensure that you install the dependent RPMs before installing this feature. For more
information on installing dependent RPMs, see "Dependent RPMs for Remote Enablement".
NOTE: You can install Server Administrator on any system that meets operating system dependencies. However, after installation, certain Server
Administrator services may not be started on unsupported systems.
NOTE: When Dell OpenManage Server Administrator is installed on a system, dependency issues related to RPMs may occur. To resolve these issues,
install the missing RPMs from SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS/opensource-components. If the RPMs are not available in this
directory, install these RPMs from the operating system media. If not available on the media, use the Internet to search for these RPMs.
NOTE: If you do not use the [-p | --preserve] option during the installation, the history information on the screen gets cleared off.
