operating system media.
Note: If you are using later versions of supported Linux operating
systems and the RPM files available in the "/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS"
directory ("SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS" if you are using the DVD)
are incompatible, use the latest RPMs from your Operating System media.
* Source packages for Open Source RPMs are available on an orderable
DVD image.
* The OpenIPMI device driver used by Server Administrator will
conflict with the Intel IMB device driver. Dell requires that you
uninstall the IMB driver before installing Server Administrator.
* Non-factory Installation Methods:
You can install managed systems software using one of the two
methods. The media contains scripts and RPM packages to install, upgrade,
and uninstall 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 your network.
- First install method: Use 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 modes and locally
or across a network.
- Second install method - Use 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 single
or multiple systems through an unattended installation locally or
across a network.
Using a combination of the two install methods is not recommended.
It may be required that you manually install required Server
Administrator RPM packages provided in the custom directories,
using the Linux "rpm" command.
* During the install of the management station RAC utility ( mgmtst-racadm
RPM under /ManagementStation/linux/rac directory on the "Dell Systems Console
and Agent" CD or /SYSMGMT/ManagementStation/linux/rac directory on the "Dell
Systems Management Tools and Documentation" DVD), the install
may fail due to missing RPM file dependencies on libstdc++.so libraries.
Install the compat-libstdc++ rpm provided in the same directory to resolve
the dependency and retry the installation.
