• The OpenIPMI device driver used by Server Administrator will conflict with the Intel IMB
device driver. You must uninstall the IMB driver before installing Server Administrator.
• When 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 . If the RPMs are not available in this
directory, install these from the operating system media. (341495)
• Conflicting version requirements for libsmbios library Server Administrator is dependent
on libsmbios. On Linux OS variants, if there is a mismatch in the version requirement of
libsmbios, installing Server Administrator results in warnings. It is recommended to
uninstall libsmbios versions (and the dependent software) before installing Server
Administrator.

• Under certain conditions with DKMS versions prior to version 2.0.9, device driver building may fail.
This may prevent Server Administrator from installing. You may see the following error message:
"Building module: cleaning build area....(bad exit status: 2) make KERNELRELEASE=2.6.5-7.232-smp -
C src KSP=/lib/modules/2.6.5-7.232-smp/build MANDIR=%{_mandir}....(bad exit status: 2)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.5-7.232-smp (x86_64)
Consult the make.log in the build directory
/var/lib/dkms/e1000/6.2.11/build/ for more information."
To resolve the device driver build problems:
1. Update the DKMS version to 2.0.9 or later.
2. Uninstall the kernel source on your system.
3. Reinstall the kernel source on your system.
4. Build and install the device driver that was failing to build.
5. If Server Administrator has failed to install, either install Server Administrator using the
following script, ./srvadmin-install.sh [OR]
Install the appropriate Server Administrator RPMs. (31564) (31829) (42077)
• After uninstalling, some of the files and folders may remain in the installation directory. This occurs
when you upgrade the Server Administrator from versions 6.1 or earlier. For security reasons, delete
the directories and files under the Server Administrator installation directory. (348525) (335978)\
• Custom installation of srvadmin RPMs in the RAC folder displays a warning message during the
installation of the RACSVC component. This warning is observed on systems running the SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 (64-bit) operating system. The warning indicates that the racsvc
service is already registered on the system. This is a known issue and has no functionality impact.
