Install Guide

Prerequisites For Installing Managed System Software
The prerequisites are:
• Log in as root.
• The running kernel must have loadable module support enabled.
• The /opt directory must have at least 250 MB of free space, and the /tmp, /etc, and /var directories must each have at least 20 MB
of free space.
• Install the net-snmp package that is provided with the operating system if you use SNMP to manage the server. If you want to use
supporting agents for the ucd-snmp or net-snmp agent, you must install the operating system support for the SNMP standard before
you install Server Administrator. For more information about installing SNMP, see the installation instructions for the operating system
you are running on the system.
NOTE: When installing RPM packages, to avoid warnings concerning the RPM-GPG key, import the key with a command similar
to rpm --import <OM DVD mountpoint>/SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPM-GPG-KEY
NOTE: Before installing Server Administrator on SLES15, you must install insserv-compat package else the installation fails.
• In case of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or later and SLES, install the wsman and sblim packages from the operating system DVD. See, To
install the wsman and sblim packages
• Install all the prerequisite RPMs required for successful installation.
If the system had factory-installed, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, see the Dependent RPMs for Remote
Enablement section for information about any RPMs that you need to manually install before installing managed system software.
Typically, you may not need to manually install any RPMs.

1 In Package selection, select Basic Server.
2 Select Customize now and click Next.
3 Select System Management group.

5 Select openwsman-server and click Next.
6 After the operating system installation, install libcmpiCppImpl0 package from the operating system DVD or using the Yum utility.
