Installation manual

• Do not install managed system and management station RAC components on the same system. Install only the

managed system RAC components, as they offer the required functionality.

Common causes for a return code of 3 (failure) from the prerequisite checker:

• You are not logged in with built-in Administrator privileges.

• The MSI package is corrupt or one of the required XML files is corrupt.

• Error during copying from a DVD or network access problems while copying from a network share.

• Prerequisite checker detects that another MSI package installation is currently running or that a reboot is

pending: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

indicates another MSI package installation is in progress. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet

\\Control\\Session Manager\\PendingFileRenameOperations indicates that a reboot is pending.

• Running the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 Core, since certain components are disabled from being

installed.

Ensure that any error or warning is corrected before you proceed to install Dell OpenManage software components.

Each software has an associated value set after running the prerequisite check. The following table provides the list of

feature IDs for each software feature. The feature ID is a 2 to 5 character designation.

NOTE: The software feature IDs mentioned in the table are case-sensitive.
