Installing Server Administrator 49
NOTE: When you install Mozilla 1.7.3 (32–bit) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 3) x86_64, the installation fails if
libgtk-1.2.so.0 is not installed. You must install gtk+-1.2.10-31.i386.rpm (32–bit) that provides libgtk-1.2.so.0.
gtk+-1.2.10-31.i386.rpm is available on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 3) Update 4 x86_64 CD. gtk+-1.2.10-
31.i386.rpm is dependent on other .i386.rpm packages. The other .i386.rpm (s) are also available on the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (version 3) Update 4 x86_64 CD.
Supported Systems Management Protocol Standards
A supported systems management protocol standard must be installed on the managed system before
installing Server Administrator. On supported Microsoft Windows operating systems, Server Administrator
supports these two systems management standards: Common Information Model/Windows
Management Instrumentation (CIM/WMI) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
On supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system, Server Administrator supports the SNMP
systems management standard.
NOTE: For information about installing a supported system management protocol standard on your managed system,
see your operating system documentation.
Table 5-1 shows the availability of the systems management standards for each supported operating system.
Prerequisite Checker for Windows
The setup.exe prerequisite checker program, located in the Windows directory on the Installation and
Server Management CD, provides the capability of examining the prerequisite status for software
components without launching the actual installation. This program displays a status window that
provides information about the system hardware that some software components may require for operation.
The Prerequisite Check can be executed silently using runprereqcheck.exe /s.
Installation Procedures
See the Dell OpenManage Installation and Security User's Guide for information on installation
