50 Installing Server Administrator
Management Protocol (SNMP). On supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux and
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems, Server Administrator
supports the SNMP systems management standard.
NOTE: For information about installing a supported systems management protocol
standard on your managed system, see your operating system documentation.
Table 4-1 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 Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD,
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 procedures and step-by-step instructions for
installing, upgrading, and uninstalling Server Administrator on each
