. On Red Hat
®
Enterprise Linux and
SUSE
®
LINUX Enterprise Server systems, you can either install the Storage Management Service
through the Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) or use the
srvadmin-install.sh script—a menu driven script that installs the appropriate RPMs based on
the options you choose.
NOTE: The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system provides drivers for some of the RAID controllers listed in
the "RAID Controller Supported Servers, Operating Systems, Firmware, and Driver Versions" section.
See the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator User's Guide for more information on Storage
Management Service.
Diagnostic Service
The Diagnostic Service provides a suite of diagnostic programs that run locally on your system or
remotely on a system connected to the network. The Diagnostic Service is engineered to diagnose
problems on individual systems and to run concurrently with all other applications running on the
system under test.
Logs
Server Administrator displays logs of commands issued to or by the system, monitored hardware events,
POST events, and system alerts. You can view logs on the home page, print or save them as reports, and
send them by e-mail to a designated service contact.
