Installing and Upgrading Server Administrator
This section explains how to install and upgrade the Server Administrator
using two installation options:
• Use the setup program at \SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows on the Dell
Systems Management Tools and Documentation
DVD to install or upgrade
Server Administrator and other managed system software.
• Use the unattended installation method through the Windows Installer
Engine
msiexec.exe (see Table 6-1) to install Server Administrator and other
managed system software on multiple systems.
NOTE: For modular systems, you must install Server Administrator on each server
module installed in the chassis.
NOTE: See Windows Add/Remove Programs to find out what features are
currently installed.
NOTE: You can upgrade from Dell OpenManage software version 4.3 through 4.5.1
to 5.5 through a full MSI installation. You can also upgrade from Dell OpenManage
Software version 5.4 to 5.5 through a MSP installation.
NOTE: After you install Server Administrator on PowerEdge 1650, 2650, 4600, 700,
750, 800, 830, 850, and 1800 systems, you may be prompted to reboot your system if
you have chosen to install the Storage Management Service.
Typical and Custom Installations
The Dell OpenManage installer features a Typical Setup option and a
Custom Setup option for installing Server Administrator and other managed
system software.
The setup program calls the Prerequisite Checker, which uses your system's
PCI bus to search for installed hardware such as controller cards.
When you launch the Server Administrator installation from the Prerequisite
Checker and select the Typical Setup option, the setup program installs or
upgrades all of the managed system software features that are appropriate for
your particular system's hardware configuration. For more information about
how to perform a Typical Setup, see the Quick Installation Guide. You can
access the Quick Installation Guide by clicking Quick Install Guide on the
menu bar within the Prerequisite Checker user interface.
