Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems 109
5 To install the Storage Management Service components, type the following command.
sh srvadmin-install.sh --storage (these are long options)
or
sh srvadmin-install.sh -s (these are short options)
NOTE: Long options can be combined with short options, and vice-versa.
NOTE: Just before the Server Administrator RPMs are installed, the srvadmin-install.sh shell script
automatically calls the srvadmin-openipmi.sh shell script to ensure that a sufficient version of the OpenIPMI
driver is currently installed on the system. If a sufficient version is not found, the srvadmin-install.sh shell
script calls the srvadmin-openipmi.sh shell script to attempt to install a sufficient version. If the attempt fails
for any reason, an appropriate error message will be displayed with instructions describing how to resolve
the error. After resolving any error, you should then re-run the srvadmin-install.sh shell script to install the
managed system components.
Server Administrator services do not start automatically.
6 Start Server Administrator services after the installation by using the command:
sh srvadmin-services start
Using the Shell Script to Perform the Custom Installation in Interactive Mode
This procedure uses the installation shell script to prompt you for the installation of specific components
through the installation.
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 the mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom command.
4 Navigate to the srvadmin/linux/supportscripts directory.
5 Execute the script with the sh srvadmin-install.sh command, which displays a list of component
options. If any of the components are already installed, then those components are listed separately
with a check mark next to them. The Server Administrator custom installation options are displayed.
