The following table explains the operating system installation matrix for Systems Management.
Table 4. Operating System Installation Matrix
Operating System Architecture 64-bit Architecture
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 Install
VMware vSphere 6.7 Install
VMware vSphere 6.5 U1 Install
NOTE: On a Systems Management upgrade, it is recommended to upgrade to the latest open source components available on
the
Dell EMC OpenManage Systems Management Tools and Documentation
software or from dell.com/support/home.
NOTE: If you are upgrading the operating system to a major version, uninstall the existing version of Systems Management and
install the supported version.
NOTE: Before you migrate to Systems Management software, make sure you uninstall the Systems Management and other open
source components (openwsman-server, openwsman-client, libwsman1, sblim-sfcb, sblim-sfcc, libcmpiCppImpl0, libsmbios2,
smbios-utils-bin) installed as part of the Systems Management.
NOTE: The Inventory Collector RPM (srvadmin-cm) requires the following RPMs to be preinstalled on servers prior to 11th
generation of PowerEdge servers running 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 operating system the Emulex driver dependent on 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 specic 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 Dell EMC OpenManage Systems Management Tools and
Documentation software.
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.
