Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems 151
Using the Shell Script to Perform the Custom Installation in Interactive Mode
This procedure uses the installation shell script to prompt you for the
installation of specific components through the installation.
1
Log in 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 the mount /dev/cdrom
/mnt/cdrom
command.
4 Navigate to the srvadmin/linux/supportscripts on the CD. Navigate to
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts if you are using the DVD.
5 Execute the script with the sh srvadmin-install.sh command,
which displays a list of component options. If any of the components are
already installed, then those components are listed separately with a check
mark next to them. The Server Administrator custom installation options
are displayed.
6 Press <c> to copy, <i> to install, <r> to reset and start over, or <q>
to quit.
• If you press <c>, you are prompted to enter the absolute destination
path.
• If you press <i>, a message states that the RPMs will be installed in
the
/opt/dell/srvadmin directory. You can then press <y> to change,
or press <Enter> to use the default installation path.
When the installation is completed, the script will have an option for
starting the services.
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.
7 Press <n> to exit. You can start the services manually later.
