Installation manual

1. Log in as root to the system running the supported operating system where you want to install the managed
system components.
2. Insert the
Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation
DVD into the DVD drive.
3. Mount the DVD, if required.
4. Navigate to <OM DVD mount point>/SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts directory. Run the srvadmin-
install.sh
shell script, which performs an express installation.
sh srvadmin-install.sh --express
or
sh srvadmin-install.sh -x
The setup program installs the following managed system software features:
Server Administrator Web Server
Server Instrumentation
Storage Management
Remote Access Controller
Remote enablement is not installed and Server Administrator services do not start automatically.
NOTE: The 32-bit srvadmin-cm RPM is not installed when OpenManage is installed on a 64-bit operating system. If
required, install the srvadmin-cm package from the appropriate subfolders under SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/
RPMS/supportRPMS/srvadmin from the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD. Inventory
Collector utility carried as part of srvadmin-cm rpm feeds software inventory data to Dell Management Station
applications like ITA.
5. Start the Server Administrator services after the installation using the srvadmin-services.sh script by using the sh
srvadmin-services start command.
Component Specific Install Using RPM Commands
The RPMs specific to a particular OpenManage component are grouped together. To facilitate an RPM-based
installation, install the RPMs from the following directories:
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/<OS>/Remote-Enablement/< arch>
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/<OS>/SA-WebServer/<arch>
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/<OS>/Server-Instrumentation/<arch >
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/<OS>/add-RAC4/<arch>
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/<OS>/add-RAC5/<arch>
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/<OS>/add-StorageManagement/< arch>
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/<OS>/add-iDRAC/<arch>
Where <OS> is the supported operating system and <arch> is 32-bit (i386) or 64-bit (x86_64).
NOTE: In case of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server version 10 and 11: 32-bit Dell OpenManage rpm packages are
provided for upgrade from the previous 32-bit installs only. If you do not have an existing installation, then you
cannot install a 32-bit version of the software. You must install operating system specific rpms from the 64-bit
directory.
For example, if you are running Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 5, you can customize the installation by adding the
RPMs from the following directories:
