Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems 107
Custom Install
Managed system software provides two custom installation paths. One is RPM-based, with pre-configured
custom directories, and the other is shell script-based.
Using Pre-configured Custom Directories to Perform the Custom Installation
See Table 7-1 for details about using the RPMs to perform a custom installation using pre-configured
custom directories.
The following is an example of custom RPMs-based installation of Server Administrator, including the
installation of the Storage Management Service components.
1
Log on as root to the system running the supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server operating system where you want to install the managed system components.
2 Insert the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD into the CD drive.
3 If necessary, mount the CD using a command such as: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom .
4 Navigate to the srvadmin/linux/custom directory.
