88 Installing Dell OpenManage Software On Windows Server 2008
Installing Managed System and Management
Station Software
This section provides instructions on installing managed system and
management station software on Windows Server 2008 Core or
Hyper-V Server operating system, in the CLI mode.
Running PreReqChecker In CLI Mode
Run the PreReqChecker before you install Dell OpenManage software.
See "Prerequisite Checker" for more information on running Prerequisite
Checker in the CLI mode.
On Windows Server 2008 Core or Hyper-V Server, as a GUI is not available,
you need run the pre-requisite checker in the CLI mode.
• Managed System Software: Ty p e runprereqchecks.exe /s in the
command prompt. The file
runprereqchecks.exe is located at
S
YSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\prereqchecker on the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation
DVD.
NOTE: A negative return code (-1 through -10) indicates a failure in running
the prerequisite checker tool itself. Probable causes for negative return codes
include software policy restrictions, script restrictions, lack of folder
permissions, and size constraints. See "Return Codes While Running the
Prerequisite Check Silently," for more information on PreReqChecker
return codes.
NOTE: If you encounter a return value of 2 or 3, it is recommended that you
inspect the omprereq.htm file in the windows temporary folder %TEMP%.
To find %TEMP%, run the
echo %TEMP% command.
NOTE: omprereq.htm is an html file. Transfer this file to another computer
with a browser installed to read this file.
Common causes for a return value of 2 from the prerequisite checker:
• One of your storage controllers or drivers has outdated firmware or driver.
See
firmwaredriverversions_ <lang> .html (where <lang> stands for
language)
or firmwaredriverversions.txt found in the %TEMP% folder.
To find
%TEMP% , run the echo %TEMP% command.
• RAC component software version 4 is not selected for a default install
unless the device is detected on the system. The prerequisite checker
generates a warning message in this case.
