Custom RPMs Based Installation

The following is an example of custom RPMs-based installation of Server Administrator, including the installation of the Remote

Enablement feature and the Storage Management Service components.

NOTE: On the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x operating system, DVDs are automounted with the -noexec mount option.

This option does not allow you to run any executable from the DVD. You have to manually mount the DVD and then run

executables.

1. Log in as root to the system running the supported operating system where you want to install the managed system components.

2. Insert the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD into the DVD drive.

3. Navigate to the operating system specific directory corresponding to the system.

4. Type the following command:

rpm –ivh Server-Instrumentation/<arch>/*.rpm

add-StorageManagement/<arch>/*.rpm

RemoteEnablement/<arch>/*.rpm

Server Administrator services do not start automatically.

NOTE: Ensure that you install Server Instrumentation or Remote Enablement before installing Remote Access

Controller or Storage Management.

NOTE: If you choose to install the Remote Enablement feature, ensure that you install the dependent RPMs before

installing this feature.

5. Start the Server Administrator services after the installation by using the command:

sh srvadmin-services start

NOTE:

You can install Server Administrator on any system that meets operating system dependencies. However,

after installation, certain Server Administrator services may not be started on unsupported systems.

NOTE: When Server Administrator is installed on a system, dependency issues related to RPMs may occur. To

resolve these issues, install the missing RPMs from SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS/

opensourcecomponents. If the RPMs are not available in this directory, install these RPMs from the operating

system media. If not available on the media, search for these RPMs on the Internet.
