Installation manual

NOTE: Ensure that you install Server Instrumentation or Remote Enablement before installing Remote Access

Controller or Storage Management.

NOTE: If you choose to install the Remote Enablement feature, ensure that you install the dependent RPMs before

installing this feature.

5. Start the Server Administrator services after the installation by using the command:

sh srvadmin-services start

NOTE: You can install Server Administrator on any system that meets operating system dependencies. However,

after installation, certain Server Administrator services may not be started on unsupported systems.

NOTE: When Dell OpenManage Server Administrator is installed on a system, dependency issues related to RPMs

may occur. To resolve these issues, install the missing RPMs from SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS/

opensourcecomponents. If the RPMs are not available in this directory, install these RPMs from the operating

system media. If not available on the media, search for these RPMs on the Internet.
