What are the additional components that can be installed on a system that
already has Server Administrator installed?
There are a few additional components that can be installed on a system that
already has Server Administrator installed. For example, you can install
Online Diagnostics on a system that has previously been installed with
managed system software. On such a system, while uninstalling Server
Administrator, only those RPM packages that are not required by any of the
newly installed components are uninstalled. In the above example,
Online Diagnostics requires packages such as -
srvadmin-omilcore-X.Y.Z-N and srvadmin-hapi-X.Y.Z-N. These packages
do not get uninstalled during an uninstallation of Server Administrator.
In this case, if you try to install Server Administrator later by running the
sh srvadmin-install.sh command, the following message is
displayed:
Server Administrator version X.Y.Z is currently installed.
Installed Components are:
• srvadmin-omilcore-X.Y.Z-N
• srvadmin-hapi-X.Y.Z-N
Do you want to upgrade Server Administrator to X.Y.Z? Press (y for yes |
Enter to exit):
On pressing y, only those Server Administrator packages (in the above
example, srvadmin-omilcore-X.Y.Z-N and srvadmin-hapi-X.Y.Z-N residing
on the system are upgraded.
If you have to install other Dell OpenManage components as well, the
following command has to be run once again:
sh srvadmin-install.sh
What happens if I installs the RPM package on an unsupported systems or
on unsupported operating system?
If you try to install the RPM packages on an unsupported system or an
unsupported operating system, you may see unpredictable behavior during
the install, uninstall, or during use of the RPM package. Most of the RPM
packages have been written and tested for Dell PowerEdge systems and the
Linux versions listed in this readme.
