What are the additional components that can be installed on a

system that already has Server Administrator installed?

There are a few additional components that can be installed on a system that already has Server Administrator installed. For example, you

can install Online Diagnostics on a system that has previously been installed with managed system software. On such a system, while

uninstalling Server Administrator, only those RPM packages that are not required by any of the newly installed components are uninstalled.

In the above example, Online Diagnostics requires packages such as -

srvadmin-omilcore-X.Y.Z-N and srvadmin-hapi-X.Y.Z-N. These

packages are not uninstalled during an uninstallation of Server Administrator.

In this case, if you try to install Server Administrator later by running the sh srvadmin-install.sh command, the following message

is displayed:

Server Administrator version X.Y.Z is currently installed.

Installed components are:

• srvadmin-omilcore-X.Y.Z-N

• srvadmin-hapi-X.Y.Z-N

Do you want to upgrade Server Administrator to X.Y.Z? Press (y for yes| <Enter> to exit):

On pressing <y>, only those Server Administrator packages (in the above example), srvadmin-omilcore-X.Y.Z-N and srvadmin-hapi-X.Y.Z-

N residing on the system are upgraded.

If you have to install other systems management components as well, the sh srvadmin-install.sh command has to be run once

again.

What happens if I install the RPM package on an unsupported

system or on an unsupported operating system?

If you try to install the RPM packages on an unsupported system or an unsupported operating system, you may see unpredictable behavior

during the install, uninstall, or during use of the RPM package. Most of the RPM packages have been written and tested for supported

systems and the Linux versions listed in the readme.
