Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems 103
Re-attempt to install the srvadmin-hapi RPM and any other RPMs that failed to install as they depend
on the srvadmin-hapi RPM. Perform the following steps:
1
Navigate to the srvadmin/linux/custom/* directory that you previously were at.
2 Run the following command to see which Server Administrator packages were previously successfully
installed.
rpm –qa | grep srvadmin
The query displays a list of all installed Server Administrator packages.
3 Install every RPM in the directory that was previously not installed, as they depended on the
srvadmin-hapi RPM that previously failed to install, by running the following command:
rpm –ihv srvadmin-hapi*.rpm srvadmin-isvc*.rpm srvadmin-omhip*.rpm
srvadmin-<any-other-packages>*.rpm
Alternately, during installation of the srvadmin-hapi RPM using RPM, if the OpenIPMI RPM for a
version of the OpenIPMI driver that meets the minimum version of the OpenIPMI driver that is
required by Server Administrator is currently installed on the system, but OpenIPMI driver modules have
not yet been built and installed for the given version of the OpenIPMI driver because the kernel-source RPM
is required but is not currently installed, the srvadmin-hapi RPM will fail to install and will display an
error message. The error message will state that you need to install the kernel-source RPM and build the
OpenIPMI driver. In such a case, any RPMs that depend on the srvadmin-hapi RPM will also fail to
install. You must then install the kernel-source RPM, and build and install the OpenIPMI driver
modules, by performing the following additional steps:
1
For systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 3), get a copy of the appropriate kernel-source RPM
for running the kernel off your operating system installation CDs (or from some other source).
On systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 4) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, the
kernel*-devel RPMs provide the necessary source for building kernel modules.
2 Install the kernel-source RPM or kernel*-devel RPMs by running the following command from where
you have found or copied the RPM(s):
rpm –ihv kernel*.rpm
3
Navigate to the srvadmin/linux/supportscripts directory.
4 Run the srvadmin-openipmi.sh shell script as shown below. This will build and install the OpenIPMI
driver modules.
sh srvadmin-openipmi.sh install
Re-attempt to install the srvadmin-hapi RPM and any RPMs that failed to install as they depend on the
srvadmin-hapi RPM.
