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
