Using The Shell Script To Perform The Installation In Interactive Mode
This installation procedure uses the srvadmin-install.sh to prompt you for the installation of specific components.

components.
2. Insert the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD into the DVD drive.
3. Mount the DVD, if required.
4. Navigate to <OM DVD mount point>/SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts.
5. Execute the script with the sh srvadmin-install.sh command and accept the terms of the end-user license
agreement.
Executing the command displays a list of component options. If any of the components are already installed, then those
components are listed separately with a check mark next to them. The Server Administrator installation options are displayed.
6. Press <c>to copy, <i> to install, <r> to reset and start over, or <q> to quit. If you press <c>, you are prompted to enter the
absolute destination path.
When the installation is complete, the script has an option for starting the services.
7. Press <y>to start the services or <Enter> to exit.
Using The Install Script To Run In Silent Mode

Determining The Server Administrator Architecture
Use the following command to identify if the already installed Server Administrator is of 32-bit or 64-bit architecture
rpm -q --queryformat "%{NAME} - %{ARCH}\n" `rpm -qa | grep srvadmin`
The system displays a message identifying the architecture where, i386 refers to 32-bit and x86_64 refers to 64-bit.
Managed System Software Installation Using Third Party Deployment Software
You can use third-party deployment software, such as Altiris Deployment Solution, VMWare Update Manager (VUM), or Linux
Respository for Yellowdog Updater Modified (YUM), Rug, and Zypper, to install managed systems software on supported systems.
To distribute and install Server Administrator using Altiris Deployment Solution:
1. Start the Altiris application
2. Import OpenManage_Jobs.bin located at SYSMGMT\srvadmin\support\Altiris on the Systems Management Tools and
Documentation DVD
3. Specify a job folder to import OpenManage_Jobs.bin.
