114 Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems
Reattempt to upgrade the srvadmin-hapi RPM and any other RPMs that failed to upgrade as they
depend on the srvadmin-hapi RPM. Perform the following steps:
1
Navigate back to the previous directory that you were at.
2 Run the following commands to see which Server Administrator packages were previously successfully
upgraded.
rpm -qa | grep srvadmin
The query displays a list of all installed Server Administrator packages. Those that have already been
upgraded will display the new version number. Those that have not yet been upgraded will display the
old version number.
3 Upgrade every RPM in the directory that was not previously upgraded, because the srvadmin-hapi
RPM previously failed to upgrade, by running the following command:
rpm -Uhv srvadmin-hapi*.rpm srvadmin-isvc*.rpm srvadmin-omhip*.rpm
srvadmin-<any-other-packages>*.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 the
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 upgrade 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 upgrade. You must 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), install a copy of the kernel-source RPM
appropriate for the kernel currently running, from 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
Reattempt to upgrade the srvadmin-hapi RPM and any RPMs that failed to upgrade as they depend on
the srvadmin-hapi RPM. Perform the steps described in page 113.
