Install Guide

I see the following message when I try to install Server

Administrator on a guest Linux operating system.

./srvadmin-install.sh: line 2295 : [: ==: unary operator expected.

When installing Systems Management components on a guest Linux operating system, the warning message may be displayed. However,

the installation continues and completes without any loss of functionality.

I manually installed my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 64-bit

operating system and can see RPM dependencies while

installing Server Administrator. Where can I find these

dependent RPM files?

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the dependent RPM files are on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation media. All other RPMs are available

in the /SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS\opensource-components directory. To install or update all the

dependent RPM files execute the following command:

rpm –ivh /SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/ supportRPMS/opensource-components

You can then continue with the Server Administrator installation.

I have performed a non-default install of the Linux

operating system using the Linux operating system media,

I see missing RPM file dependencies while installing Server

Administrator?

Server Administrator is a 32-bit application. When installed on a system running a 64-bit version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating

system, the Server Administrator remains a 32-bit application, while the device drivers installed by Server Administrator are 64-bit. If you

attempt to install Server Administrator on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (versions 5 and version 6) for Intel EM64T, ensure that you install the

applicable 32-bit versions of the missing RPM file dependencies. The 32-bit RPM versions always have i386 in the filename extension. You

may also experience failed shared object files (files with so in the filename extension) dependencies. In this case, you can determine which

RPM is needed to install the shared object, by using the RPM --whatprovides switch. For example: rpm -q --whatprovides

libpam.so.0

An RPM name such as pam-0.75-64 could be returned, so obtain and install the pam-0.75-64.i386.rpm. When Server

Administrator is installed on a system running a 64-bit version of Linux operating system, ensure that the compat-libstdc++-

<version>.i386.rpm RPM package is installed. You need to resolve the dependencies manually by installing the missing RPM files

from the Linux operating system media.

NOTE:

If you are using later versions of supported Linux operating systems and the RPM files available in the directory

SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS on the DVD are incompatible, use the latest RPMs from the operating

system media.

Where can I find the source packages for Open Source

RPMs?

Source packages for Open Source RPMs are available on an orderable DVD image.
