Installing Management Station Software

On Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux,

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, And

VMware ESX Server

Only RAC tools and BMU are supported on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server,

and VMware ESX Server operating systems.

On systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 operating system, DVDs are auto-mounted with the -

noexec mount option. This option does not allow you to run any executable from the DVD. You must

mount the DVD-ROM manually and then run the executables.

To install BMU, navigate to the SYSMGMT/ManagementStation/linux/bmc directory and install the BMU

RPM specific to the operating system as follows:

• For systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, type rpm -ivh osabmcutil*-RHEL-*.rpm

• For systems running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, type rpm -ivh osabmcutil*-SUSE-*.rpm
