150 Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems
Using the Custom Install Script To Run in the Silent and
Unattended Mode
The following is an example of a silent and unattended custom installation
using the srvadmin-install.sh shell script.
1
Log on as root to the system running the supported Red Hat Enterprise
Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system where you want
to install the managed system components.
2 Insert the Dell Systems Console and Agent CD or the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation
DVD into the CD drive.
3 If necessary, mount the CD using a command such as: mount
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
.
4 Navigate to the srvadmin/linux/supportscripts on the CD. Navigate to
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts if you are using the DVD.
5 To install the Storage Management Service components, type the
following command.
sh srvadmin-install.sh --storage (these are long options)
or
sh srvadmin-install.sh -s (these are short options)
NOTE: Long options can be combined with short options, and vice-versa.
NOTE: Just before the Server Administrator RPMs are installed, the
srvadmin-install.sh shell script automatically calls the srvadmin-openipmi.sh
shell script to ensure that an appropriate 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 install the managed system components.
Server Administrator services do not start automatically.
6 Start Server Administrator services after the installation by using the
command:
sh srvadmin-services start
