130 Installing Dell OpenManage Software on Windows Server 2008 Core
On Windows Server 2008 Core, since a GUI is not available, you need run the
pre-requisite checker in the CLI mode.
• Managed System Software: Ty p e runprereqchecks.exe /s in the
command prompt. The file
runprereqchecks.exe is located at
S
YSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\prereqchecker on the Dell Systems
Management Tools and Documentation
DVD.
•
Management Station Software: Typ e runprereqchecks.exe /s in
the command prompt. The file
runprereqchecks.exe is located at
S
YSMGMT\ManagementStation\windows\prereqchecker on the
Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD.
– A return code of 0 indicates that there are no warning or failure
conditions associated with the software components.
– A return code of 1 indicates an informational event.
– A return code of 2 indicates a warning condition; this will not prevent
the installation of the software, but disables the Typical installation
option. You can install disabled components using the Custom
installation option.
– A return code of 3 indicates a failure. One or more features are
disabled and cannot be installed.
NOTE: A negative return code (-1 through -10) indicates a failure in running
the prerequisite checker tool itself. Some probable causes for negative return
codes include software policy restrictions, script restrictions, lack of folder
permissions, and size constraints. See "Return Codes While Running the
Prerequisite Check Silently," for more information on PreReqChecker
return codes.
NOTE: If you encounter a return value of 2 or 3, it is recommended that you
inspect the omprereq.htm file in the windows temporary folder %TEMP%. To
find %TEMP%, run the
echo %TEMP% command.
NOTE: omprereq.htm is an html file. Transfer this file to another computer
with a browser installed to read this file.
