Deployment Guide

NOTE: The Inventory Collector RPM (srvadmin-cm) requires the following RPMs to be preinstalled

on servers prior to 11

generation of PowerEdge servers running supported 64-bit Linux operating

system.

• glibc.i686

• compat-libstdc++.i686

• libstdc++.i686

• zlib.i686libxml2.i686

If the dependent RPMs are not installed then Inventory Collector will not function as expected and

exits with error messages.

NOTE: On systems running the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 (32-bit) operating system the Emulex

driver depends the following RPMs:

• kernel-headers-2.6.18-346.el5.i386.rpm

• glibc-headers-2.5-107.i386.rpm

• glibc-devel-2.5-107.i386.rpm

• gcc-4.1.2-54.el5.i386.rpm

If any of the RPMs listed are missing, the system experiences issues in detecting the Emulex

Network Adapters.

The installation scripts and RPM packages specific to supported Linux and VMware ESXi operating

systems are provided to install and uninstall the Server Administrator and other managed system software

components. These installation scripts and RPMs are located in the SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/

supportscripts directory available in the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD.

The install script srvadmin-install.sh allows silent or interactive installation. By including the srvadmin-

install.sh script in the Linux scripts, install Server Administrator locally or across a network on single or

multiple systems.

The second install method uses the Server Administrator RPM packages provided in the custom

directories and the Linux rpm command. Write Linux scripts that install Server Administrator locally or

across a network on single or multiple systems.

Using a combination of the two install methods is not recommended and may require that you manually

install the required Server Administrator RPM packages provided in the custom directories, using the

Linux rpm command.

Support Matrix at dell.com/openmanagemanuals.
