Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems 157
NOTE: If a required version of the OpenIPMI driver is currently not installed on
your remote systems, the srvadmin-hapi RPM fails to install and displays an error
message stating that you must install or upgrade the OpenIPMI driver. In such a
case, all RPMs that depend on the srvadmin-hapi RPM also fail to install. In such
cases, you should also distribute the OpenIPMI-related RPM files in the
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/<os>/openipmi directory on the DVD, where
<os> is RHEL4 or RHEL5 or SLES9 or SLES10. Enter the appropriate directory name
that applies to your system. Copy the RPMs from the applicable OpenIPMI
subdirectory to the same directory on your target systems from where you
distribute the custom unattended installation package.
Creating and Distributing the Custom Unattended Installation Package
The Custom Install unattended installation option creates an unattended
installation package in a directory on your system's hard drive. To create an
unattended installation package, use the copy capability described in the
section "Using the Shell Script to Perform the Custom Installation in
Interactive Mode" to create a custom directory with the RPM's you want to
install. This directory will be your unattended installation directory. Copy the
RPMs in the applicable OpenIPMI subdirectory to the same directory on your
target systems where you distribute the custom unattended installation package.
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.
