Managed System Software Installation Using Third-Party Deployment Software
You can use third-party deployment software, such as Altiris Deployment Solution, to install managed system software onto supported Dell servers. To
distribute and install managed system software using Altiris, start your Altiris application and import OpenManage_Jobs.bin located at
SYSMGMT\srvadmin\support\Altiris on the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD. Specify a job folder into which you want to import
OpenManage_Jobs.bin. You might need to modify the Run Script and Copy File tasks to match your deployment environment. Once complete, you can then

NOTE: If you have more than one Supplemental Pack, (either the Linux Supplemental Pack from Citrix or other third party applications) you can install
them in any order, although it is recommended that you install the Dell OpenManage Supplemental Pack last.
NOTE: If a previous version of OpenManage is already installed on the system, then the command to upgrade it to version 6.5 is ./install.sh .
CAUTION: Removal of the Dell OpenManage Supplemental Pack or any Dell OpenManage RPMs is not supported by Dell or Citrix and it is not
recommended. Manual removal of any RPM leaves the system in an inconsistent state which could make any potential issue debugging effort
difficult or impossible. A future Supplemental Pack release supports removal of the Dell OpenManage Supplemental Pack.
NOTE: If you are connecting to a XenServer 5.6 FP1 managed node using server administrator web server, use port 5986 in the format Hostname:Port
Number, or IP address:Port Number.
