* 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 /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.

* There are a few additional components that can be installed on a
system that already has Server Administrator installed. For
example, you can install Online Diagnostics on a system
that has previously been installed with managed system software.
On such a system, while uninstalling Server Administrator, only
those RPM packages that are not required by any of the newly
installed components are uninstalled. In the above example, Online
Diagnostics requires packages such as -
