Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems 115
Using the srvadmin-install Shell Script
1 Log on as root to the system running Red Hat Enterprise Linux that requires the upgrade.
2 Insert the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD into the CD drive on your system.
If the CD does not mount automatically, type
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom.
3
After the CD mounts, navigate to the subdirectory containing the shell script on the CD by typing one
of the following commands:
cd /mnt/cdrom/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts
cd /media/cdrom/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts
.
4 Run the following script:
sh srvadmin-install.sh
The script detects any previous version of Server Administrator. If a previous version is installed, a
message appears stating the current version and installed components.
For example:
Server Administrator version 4.4.0 is currently installed.
Installed components are:
- srvadmin-omilcore
- srvadmin-hapi
- srvadmin-deng
- srvadmin-isvc
Next, the script prompts you with the following message:
Do you want to upgrade Server Administrator to 5.1?
Press ('y' for yes | 'Enter' to exit):
5
Select y to upgrade the system.
Server Administrator is upgraded to version 5.1.
NOTE: Just before the Server Administrator RPMs are upgraded, 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 upgrade the managed system components.
