140 Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems
Blocking During Custom Installation of Server Administrator Using the srvadmin-
install.sh Shell Script
During custom installation of Server Administrator using the srvadmin-
install.sh
shell scri pt, the script automatically calls another shell script called
srvadmin-openipmi.sh, to ensure that a sufficient version of the OpenIPMI
device driver (for example, a version that is equal to or greater than the
minimum version of the OpenIPMI device driver that is required by the
Server Administrator Instrumentation Service) is currently installed on the
system. If a sufficient version is not found, the srvadmin-install.sh
shell sc ript
calls the srvadmin-openipmi.sh
shell script again to attempt to install a
sufficient version. If the attempt fails for any reason, an appropriate error
message is displayed with instructions describing how to resolve the error. You
must resolve errors, if any, before re-running the srvadmin-install.sh
shell
script to install Server Administrator.
Blocking During Installation of Server Administrator Using RPM
To assist in the correct order of RPM installation, the srvadmin-hapi RPM is
dependent on one of the srvadmin-ipmi RPMs. Each srvadmin-ipmi RPM is
distribution-specific and depends on a distribution-specific OpenIPMI RPM.
The srvadmin-hapi RPM will not install unless the RPM dependencies are met.
During installation of Server Administrator using RPM, the srvadmin-hapi
RPM will check if a sufficient version of the OpenIPMI device driver is
currently installed on the system. If a sufficient version is not found, the
srvadmin-hapi RPM will fail to install and will display an error message
stating that you must install/upgrade the OpenIPMI device driver. In such a
case, RPMs that depend on the srvadmin-hapi RPM will also fail to install. In
such cases, you must install/upgrade the OpenIPMI driver by performing the
following additional steps:
1
Navigate to the srvadmin/linux/supportscripts or
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts directory, if you are using the
DVD.
2 Run the following srvadmin-openipmi.sh shell script:
sh srvadmin-openipmi.sh install
