Operating Systems
Overview
You can install managed system software using several methods. The Dell™ PowerEdge™ Installation
and Server Management CD provides a setup program to install, upgrade, and uninstall managed
system software features on your managed systems. You can install the software on multiple systems
through an unattended installation across a network.
The managed system features that you can install include Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator,
the Intel
®
SNMP agent, and the Broadcom SNMP agent.
From within Server Administrator, you can choose the Server Administrator Web server (not choosing
it restricts you to use Server Administrator only from its command line interface), Remote Access
Service, and Storage Management Service subfeatures.
NOTE: DRAC III, DRAC 4, and DRAC 5 cannot be used together.
Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD
The Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD provides a setup program to install,
upgrade, and uninstall managed system software features on your managed systems. Additionally,
you can install the features on multiple systems through an unattended installation across a network.
Using the setup program in the Windows directory on the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server
Management CD, you can install and upgrade Server Administrator on systems running all
supported operating systems. On systems running supported Microsoft Windows operating systems,
you can uninstall the features through the operating system.
NOTE: See the readme_ins.txt file on the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD for a list of
the systems that are currently supported.
Unattended and Scripted Silent Installation
You can use the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD to perform an unattended
and scripted silent installation of the managed system features on systems running supported
Windows operating systems. Additionally, you can install and uninstall the features from the
command line on systems running supported Windows operating systems.
