Installation
You can install Server Administrator using several methods. The Dell™
Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD provides a setup
program to install, upgrade, and uninstall Server Administrator and other
managed system software components on your managed system. This DVD
also provides a setup program to install, upgrade and uninstall management
station software components on your management station. Additionally, you
can install Server Administrator on multiple systems through an unattended
installation across a network.
NOTE: If you have a modular system, you must install Server Administrator on each
server module that is installed in the chassis.
NOTE: For more information on unattended Server Administrator
installation/uninstallation see the Dell OpenManage™ Installation and Security
User's Guide.
To update individual system components, use component-specific Dell
Update Packages. Use the Dell Server Updates DVD to view the complete
version report and to update an entire system. The Server Update Utility is
a DVD-ROM–based application for identifying and applying updates to your
server. The Server Update Utility can be downloaded from support.dell.com.
See the Server Update Utility User's Guide for more information about obtaining
and using the Server Update Utility (SUU) to update your Dell Systems or to
view the updates available for any systems listed in the Repository.
Server Administrator Home Page
The Server Administrator home page provides easy-to-set up and easy-to-use
Web browser-based system management tasks from the managed system or
from a remote host through a LAN, dial-up service, or wireless network.
When the Dell Systems Management Server Administrator Connection
Service (DSM SA Connection Service) is installed and configured on the
managed system, you can perform remote management functions from any
system that has a supported Web browser and connection. Additionally, the
Server Administrator home page provides extensive, context-sensitive
online help.
