Installing Managed System Software on Red Hat

Enterprise Linux Operating Systems 95
Performing an Unattended Installation of the Managed System Software
You can use The Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD’s Express Install and Custom
Install options for the unattended installation procedure.
Unattended installation allows you simultaneously to install Server Administrator on multiple systems.
You can perform an unattended installation by creating an unattended installation package that contains
all of the necessary managed system software files.
The unattended installation package is distributed to the remote systems using a software distribution
tool from an ISV. After the package is distributed, RPM installs the software.
Creating and Distributing the Express Unattended Installation Package
The Express Install unattended installation option uses the /srvadmin/linux/express-install-with-RAC3
or /srvadmin/linux/express-install-with-RAC4 subdirectory of the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server
Management CD as the unattended installation package. RPM accesses the Dell PowerEdge Installation
and Server Management CD to install all required Server Administrator components on selected
remote systems.
Distributing the Express-Install subdirectory as the Express Unattended Installation Package
1 Distribute the /srvadmin/linux/express-install-with-RAC3 or
/srvadmin/linux/express-install-with-RAC4
subdirectory of the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server
Management
CD to your target systems.
2 Configure your ISV software distribution software to execute rpm –i *.rpm from the subdirectory.
When the ISV software runs, it executes the RPMs to install Server Administrator on each
remote system.
