56 Installing Managed System Software on Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
Installation Procedures Prerequisite Checker
NOTE: If you want to use supporting agents for the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP), you must install the operating system support for the SNMP
standard before or after you install Server Administrator. For more information
about installing SNMP, see the installation instructions for the operating system you
are running on your system.
The setup program (located at \SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows) starts the
Prerequisite Checker program. The Prerequisite Checker program examines
the prerequisites for software components without launching the actual
installation. This program displays a status window that provides information
about your system’s hardware and software that may affect the installation
and operation of software features.
The Prerequisite Checker displays three types of messages: informational,
warning, and error.
An informational message describes a condition, but does not prevent a
feature from being installed.
A warning message describes a condition that prevents a software product
from being installed during a Typical installation. It is recommended that you
resolve the condition causing the warning before proceeding with the
installation of that software. If you decide to continue, you can select and
install the software using the Custom installation. For example, if an Intel
Network Interface Card (NIC) is not detected on the system, the following
message is displayed:
An Intel(R) NIC was not detected on this system.
This will disable the "Typical" installation of
the Intel(R) SNMP Agent.
Use the "Custom" installation setup type later
during installation to select this feature if you
have an Intel(R) NIC installed.
