installation, mount the DVD or package, and import the key using
the command:
rpm --import /mnt/cdrom/srvadmin/linux/RPM-GPG-KEY
* If you performed a default manual install of your Linux operating
system without using Dell Systems Build and Update Utility, you
will need a set of Server Administrator-dependent RPM files
installed prior to installing Server Administrator.
These RPM files can be found on the Red Hat operating system media.
You can locate them under the "SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS"
directory on the DVD, or software package. Under this directory,
there are sub-directories "RHEL4," "RHEL5," "SLES9", and "SLES10".
Navigate to the subdirectory that matches your
Linux operating system and run "rpm -Uvh *" to install these
RPM files prior to installing Server Administrator.
* If you have performed a non-default install of your Linux
operating system using your Linux operating system media, you may
see missing RPM file dependencies while installing Server
Administrator. Server Administrator is a 32-bit
application. When installed on a system running a 64-bit version of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system, the Server Administrator
remains a 32-bit application, while the device drivers installed by
Server Administrator are 64-bit. If you attempt to install Server
Administrator on a system running Red Hat Enterprise Linux
(versions 4 and 5) for Intel EM64T, ensure that you install the
applicable 32-bit versions of the missing RPM file dependencies.
The 32-bit RPM versions always have "i386" in the file name
extension. You may also experience failed shared object files
(files with "so" in the file name extension) dependencies. In this
case, you can determine which RPM is needed to install the shared
object, by using the RPM "--whatprovides" switch. For example:
rpm -q --whatprovides libpam.so.0
An RPM name such as "pam-0.75-64" could be returned, so obtain and
install the "pam-0.75-64.i386.rpm". When Server Administrator is
installed on a system running a 64-bit version of a Linux operating
system, ensure that the "compat-libstdc++-<version>.i386.rpm" RPM
package is installed. You will need to resolve the dependencies
manually by installing the missing RPM files from your Linux
operating system media.
Note: If you are using later versions of supported Linux operating
systems and the RPM files available in the directory
"SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS" on 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.
