of "Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation" DVD.
NOTE: This step is not required if the DVD runs automatically.
* On systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems,
navigate to the "SYSMGMT/ManagementStation/linux/bmc"
directory on the "Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation"
DVD and/or the "SYSMGMT/ManagementStation/linux/rac" subdirectory
on the DVD and execute the following RPM command (from the DVD or
software package) to install Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
management station or Remote Access Controller (RAC) management
station:
rpm -Uhv *.rpm
* By default, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server operating systems place a generic "ipmish" under /usr/bin
directory. But, the Avocent "ipmish" that BMC utilities install, is
placed under the /usr/sbin directory. For executing the correct
ipmish provided by Avocent, login as root or use the "su -" command."
* Detailed installation instructions, including silent install
options, can be found in the "Dell OpenManage Installation and
Security User's Guide" on the "Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation" DVD.
