* Non-factory Installation Methods.
You can install managed systems software using one of two methods.
The "Installation and Server Management" CD provides installation
scripts and RPM packages to install, upgrade, and uninstall
Server Administrator and other managed system software components on
your managed system. Additionally, you can install Server
Administrator on multiple systems through an unattended installation
across your network.
- First install method: Use the provided custom install
Script, "srvadmin-install.sh." This script allows unattended
express installation and custom, unattended, or interactive
installation. By including the "srvadmin-install.sh" script in
your Linux scripts you may install Server Administrator on single
or multiple systems, in attended or unattended modes, and locally
or across a network.
- Second install method - Use the Server Administrator RPM
packages provided in the custom directories and the Linux "rpm"
command. This allows custom interactive installation. You may
write Linux scripts that install Server Administrator on a single
or multiple systems through an unattended installation locally or
across a network.
Using a combination of the two install methods is not recommended.
It may be required that you manually install required Server
Administrator RPM packages provided in the custom directories
using the Linux "rpm" command.

LINUX ENTERPRISE SERVER OPERATING SYSTEMS

* There are a few additional components that can be installed on a
system that already has Server Administrator installed. For
example, you can install Dell PowerEdge 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, Dell
PowerEdge Diagnostics requires packages such as
"srvadmin-omilcore-X.Y.Z-N" and "srvadmin-hapi-X.Y.Z-N." These
packages will not get 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, you
will get the following message:
"Server Administrator version X.Y.Z is currently installed.
Installed Components are:
- srvadmin-omilcore-X.Y.Z-N
