Installation manual

Preinstallation Setup 23
• The Server Administrator Remote Access Controller service requires
remote access controller (RAC) be installed on the managed system. See
the relevant
Dell Remote Access Controller User’s Guide for complete
software and hardware requirements.
NOTE: The RAC software is installed as part of the Typical Setup installation
option, provided the managed system meets all of the RAC installation
prerequisites.
• The Server Administrator Storage Management Service requires Dell
OpenManage Server Administrator be installed on the managed system.
See the
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Storage Management User’s
Guide
for complete software and hardware requirements.
• Microsoft Software Installer (MSI) version 3.1 or later.
NOTE: Dell OpenManage software detects the MSI version on your system.
If the version is lower than 3.1, the prerequisite checker prompts you to
upgrade to MSI version 3.1. After upgrading the MSI to version 3.1, you may
have to reboot the system to install other software applications such as
Microsoft SQL Server.
Supported Systems Management Protocol Standards
A supported systems management protocol must be installed on the managed
system before installing your management station or managed system
software. On supported Windows and Linux operating systems, Dell
OpenManage software supports: Common Information Model (CIM),
Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), and Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP). You must install the SNMP package provided
with the operating system. If SNMP is installed post OMSA installation, you
need to restart OMSA services.
NOTE: For information about installing a supported systems management protocol
standard on your managed system, see your operating system documentation.
