Install Guide
Linux Repository
The Linux Repository is the ocial repository for all related software and updates for your Linux systems. You can use this repository to
complete the following tasks:
• Install Server Administrator
• Install drivers for all your Linux systems
• Install BIOS and rmware updates
Setting Up The Linux Repository
Before you can start using the Linux Repository for installing software or upgrades, you must set up the repository. For more information,
see http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/.
NOTE: OpenManage 9.1.2 does not support repository based installation.
Set up the repository with:
wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/bootstrap.cgi | bash
NOTE: If you require 64-bit packages, uninstall the existing 32-bit packages before installing the new software. Server
Administrator is designed to match your current operating system.
Installation Using Linux Repository
You can install Server Administrator using the Linux Repository by following any of the methods listed below:
NOTE
: Ensure that you set up the Linux Repository before you install the software from the repository.
NOTE: Server Administrator will not install on unsupported systems. If you try installing Server Administrator on unsupported
systems, you will receive a message that the system is not supported and the installation will fail.
Using YUM
NOTE
: Ensure that you are using the latest version of YUM as the older versions do not support plug-ins or mirrorlists.
If you are using YUM with CentOS, or Scientic Linux, ensure that the plug-ins are enabled as the system connects to a system specic
repository using a YUM plug-in. If the plug-in is not enabled, the repository will not work properly and you will not be able to install packages
from the repository. Add the plugins=1 line, to your yum.conf, if the plug-in is not enabled.
The following command line will work for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6, CentOS, and Scientic Linux:
yum install srvadmin-all
After the installation, type the following command to start the Server Administrator services:
srvadmin-services start
