Installation manual

70 Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux and VMware ESX
* Patch Release ESXi500-201109001
NOTE: On a Dell OpenManage upgrade, it is recommended that you upgrade to the
latest open source components available on the DVD.
NOTE: With scripted installation using srvadmin-install.sh or Yum repository-based
installations, the srvadmin-cm RPM that provides 32-bit Inventory Collector does
not get installed on a 64-bit operating system. Inventory Collector utility feeds
software inventory data to management station applications like ITA. If required,
srvadmin-cm package can be installed from appropriate subfolders under
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS/srvadmin from the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation DVD. Since srvadmin-cm RPM requires 32-
bit version of zlib and compat-libstdc++ libraries, ensure that these libraries are
installed on the system.
NOTE: If you are upgrading the operating system to a major version (example, SLES
10 to SLES 11), uninstall the existing version of Dell OpenManage and install the
supported version.
NOTE: Before you migrate to a 64-bit version of Dell OpenManage software,
ensure that you uninstall the 32-bit Dell OpenManage and other OpenSource
components (openwsman-server, openwsman-client, libwsman1, sblim-sfcb,
sblim-sfcc, libcmpiCppImpl0, libsmbios2, smbios-utils-bin) installed as part of the
32-bit Dell OpenManage.
The installation scripts and RPM packages specific to supported Linux and
VMware ESX operating systems are provided to install and uninstall the Dell
OpenManage Server Administrator and other managed system software
components. These installation scripts and RPMs are located in the
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts directory available in
the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD.
