Install Guide

When installing Systems Management components on a guest Linux operating system, the warning message may be displayed. However,
the installation continues and completes without any loss of functionality.
I manually installed my Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating
system and can see RPM dependencies while installing Server
Administrator. Where can I nd these dependent RPM les?
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the dependent RPM les are on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation media. All other RPMs are available
in the /SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS\opensource-components directory. To install or update all the dependent RPM
les execute the following command:
rpm –ivh /SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/ supportRPMS/opensource-components
You can then continue with the Server Administrator installation.
I have performed a non-default install of the Linux operating
system using the Linux operating system media, I see missing
RPM le dependencies while installing Server Administrator?
When installed on a system running a 64-bit version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system, the Server Administrator remains a 32-
bit application, while the device drivers installed by Server Administrator are 64-bit. If you attempt to install Server Administrator on Red
Hat Enterprise Linux (versions 5 and version 6) for Intel EM64T, ensure that you install the applicable 32-bit versions of the missing RPM
le dependencies. The 32-bit RPM versions always have i386 in the lename extension. You may also experience failed shared object les
(les with so in the lename extension) dependencies. In this case, you can determine which RPM is needed to install the shared object, by
using the RPM --whatprovides switch. For example: rpm -q --whatprovides libpam.so.0
An RPM name such as pam-0.75-64 could be returned, so obtain and install the pam-0.75-64.i386.rpm. When Server Administrator is
installed on a system running a 64-bit version of Linux operating system, ensure that the compat-libstdc++-<version>.i386.rpm RPM
package is installed. You need to resolve the dependencies manually by installing the missing RPM les from the Linux operating system
media.
NOTE
: If you are using later versions of supported Linux operating systems and the RPM les available in the directory
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS on the DVD are incompatible, use the latest RPMs from the operating system
media.
Where can I nd the source packages for Open Source RPMs?
Source packages for Open Source RPMs are available on an orderable DVD image.
What do I do when management station RAC utility installation
fails due to missing RPM le?
During the installation of the management station RAC utility (mgmtst-racadm RPM under /SYSMGMT/ManagementStation/linux/rac
directory on the Dell EMC OpenManage Systems Management Tools and Documentation software), the installation may fail due to missing
