Installing Server Administrator

This section explains how to install the Server Administrator and other managed system software using two

installation options:

• Using the setup program at \SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows on the

Dell Systems Management Tools and

Documentation

DVD.

• Using the unattended installation method through the Windows Installer Engine msiexec.exe.

NOTE: SNMP service is stopped and started during Systems Management installation and uninstallation. As a

result, services like DSM IT Assistant Connection Service, DSM IT Assistant Network Monitor and other third party

services, dependent on SNMP stop. IT Assistant services is started at the end of Systems Management installation

or uninstallation. If the third party services are stopped, manually restart these services.

NOTE: For Blade systems, you must install Server Administrator on each server module installed in the chassis.

NOTE: During installation of Server Administrator on supported Windows systems, if an Out of Memory error

message is displayed, you must exit the installation and free up memory. Close other applications or perform any

other task that frees up memory, before re-attempting Server Administrator installation.

The setup program invokes the prerequisite checker, which uses the system's Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)

bus to search for installed hardware such as controller cards.

The Dell OpenManage installer features a Typical Setup option and a Custom Setup option for installing Server

Administrator and other managed system software.
