NOTE: To manage the server, select either Server Administrator Web Server or one of the Management Interfaces –
CLI, SNMP or OS LOG along with Server Instrumentation (SI) or Server Administrator Storage Management Service
(OMSS).
NOTE: Command line options for [-t] and [-g] cannot be used without a management interface. These options need to
be combined with management interface options such as [-w], [-i], [-z], [-l], or [-m]. For more information on custom
installations, see Server Administrator Custom Installation Utility.
OpenIPMI Device Driver
The Server Instrumentation feature of Server Administrator requires the OpenIPMI device driver that provides IPMI-based information and
functionality.
All supported Linux systems contain the required version of IPMI module in the default kernel itself. You do not have to install the IPMI
RPM. For more information on supported systems, see the Systems Software Support Matrix.
Degradation Of Functionality When The Server
Administrator Instrumentation Service Is Started
After Server Administrator is installed, the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service performs a run‑time check of the OpenIPMI
device driver whenever it is started. The Server Administrator Instrumentation Service is started whenever you run either the
srvadmin-services.sh start or srvadmin‑services.sh restart commands, or when you restart the system (during
which the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service is started.)
Server Administrator installation blocks the installation of Server Administrator packages if an appropriate version of the OpenIPMI device
driver is not currently installed on the system. However, it is still possible, though not typical, that you can uninstall or replace a sufficient
version of the OpenIPMI device driver after Server Administrator has been installed. Server Administrator cannot prevent this.
To account for a user uninstalling or replacing a sufficient version of the OpenIPMI device driver after Server Administrator has been
installed, the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service checks the OpenIPMI device driver version whenever it is started. If a
sufficient version of the OpenIPMI device driver is not found, the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service degrades itself so that it
