Overview
You can install managed systems software by one of two methods. The Dell™ PowerEdge™
Installation and Server Management CD provides installation scripts and RPM packages to install,
upgrade, and uninstall Dell OpenManage™ Server Administrator and other managed system
software components on your managed system. Additionally, you can install Server Administrator on
multiple systems through an unattended installation across a network.
The first install method uses the provided custom install script srvadmin-install.sh. This script
allows unattended express installation and custom, unattended, or interactive installation. By
including the srvadmin-install.sh script in your Linux scripts you may install Server Administrator
on single or multiple systems, in attended or unattended mode, and locally or across a network.
The second install method uses the Server Administrator RPM packages provided in the custom
directories and the Linux rpm command. This allows custom interactive installation. You may write
Linux scripts that install Server Administrator on a single or multiple systems through an
unattended installation locally or across a network.
Using a combination of the two install methods is not recommended and may require that you
manually install required Server Administrator RPM packages provided in the custom directories,
using the Linux rpm command.
NOTE: See the Dell PowerEdge Installation and Server Management CD’s readme_ins.txt file 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 managed systems software through the command line (using
RPM packages) on systems running supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server operating systems.
