When I run srvadmin-cm (Server Administrator Inventory

Collector) it displays error messages. What do I do?

If you are using a system prior to 11th generation of PowerEdge servers running on a supported 64-bit Linux operating system, the

srvadmin-cm RPM installs only the 32-bit dependent RPMs. This is why the srvadmin-cm RPM displays error messages when it is run on a

64-bit operating system. To ensure srvadmin-cm functions as expected, the following RPMs must be preinstalled on servers prior to 11G

running supported 64-bit Linux operating system.

glibc.i686

compat-libstdc++.i686

libstdc++.i686

zlib.i686

libxml2.i686
