154 Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems
Distributing Unattended Installation Packages
The custom unattended installation package is located in the directory you
created in the preceding step 6 of the custom installation (see "Custom
Install"). This directory contains all of the RPMs for the managed system
software components to distribute.
1
Configure your ISV software distribution software to execute rpm –i
*.rpm
after the unattended installation package has been distributed.
2 Use your ISV distribution software to distribute the unattended
installation package to the remote systems. The RPM command installs
Server Administrator on each remote system.
Upgrading From Previous Versions
If your system is running Dell OpenManage software prior to version 4.2,
uninstall the current version before attempting to install the new version.
Upgrading From Version 4.3 or Later
For Dell OpenManage software versions 4.3 and later, you can upgrade your
system using RPM commands or the srvadmin-install.sh shell script.
Ensure that all installed components are upgraded when you perform either
procedure.
Using the RPM
1 Log on as root to the system running Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server that requires the upgraded 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 on
your system.
If the CD does not mount automatically, use a command similar to the
following:
mount /dev/cdrom/ mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
