Installation manual

Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux and VMware ESX 71
The install script srvadmin-install.sh allows silent or interactive installation.
By including the srvadmin-install.sh script in your Linux scripts, you can
install Server Administrator locally or across a network on single or multiple
systems.
The second install method uses the Server Administrator RPM packages
provided in the custom directories and the Linux rpm command. You can
write Linux scripts that install Server Administrator locally or across a
network on single or multiple systems.
Using a combination of the two install methods is not recommended and may
require that you manually install the required Server Administrator RPM
packages provided in the custom directories, using the Linux rpm command.
