Deployment Guide

NOTE: If you use the MSI file to try to install Server Administrator on a system where the User

Account Control settings is set to a greater level, the installation fails and displays a message:

Server Administrator installation program could not install the HAPI driver.

You must perform the installation process as an administrator. You can also install Server

Administrator successfully by the following methods:

• Click the setup.exe file, or

• Right-click Command Prompt → Run as administrator, and then run the installer command in

CLI mode. For more information on CLI mode, see Installing Managed System Software In CLI

Mode

The setup program invokes the prerequisite checker, which uses the system's Peripheral Component

Interconnect (PCI) bus to search for installed hardware such as controller cards.

The Systems Management installer features a Typical Setup option and a Custom Setup option for

installing Server Administrator and other managed system software.

Typical Installation

When you access the Server Administrator installation from the prerequisite checker and select the

Typical Setup option, the setup program installs the following managed system software features:

• Server Administrator Web Server

• Server Instrumentation

• Storage Management

• Command Line Interface

• WMI

• SNMP

• Operating System Logging

• DRAC Command Line Tools

• Intel SNMP Agent

• Broadcom SNMP Agent

During a Typical installation, individual management station services that do not meet the specific

hardware and software requirement for that service are not installed on the managed systems. For

example, the Server Administrator Remote Access Controller service software module is not installed

during a Typical installation unless the managed system has a remote access controller installed on it.

You can, however, go to Custom Setup and select the DRAC Command Line Tools software module for

installation.

NOTE: To install the drivers successfully, the installer runs in an elevated privilege mode.

NOTE: The Remote Enablement feature is available only through the Custom Setup option.

NOTE: Server Administrator installation also installs some of the required Visual C++ runtime

components on the system.
