INSTALLATION
######################################################################
* On systems running Microsoft Windows operating systems, run
"setup.exe" from the ”SYSMGMT/ManagementStation/Windows” directory 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.
