Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems 147
Express Install
Use the provided shell script to perform the express installation in silent and
unattended mode.
NOTE: On the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 operating system, DVDs are auto-mounted
with the -noexec mount option. This option does not allow you to run any executable
from the DVD. You need to manually mount the DVD and then run executables.
1 Log on as root to the system running the supported Red Hat Enterprise
Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system where you want
to install the managed system components.
2 Insert the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD into
the DVD drive.
3 If necessary, use the command line to mount the DVD using a command
such as:
mount /dev/dvdrom /mnt/dvdrom
4
Navigate to the SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts if you are
using the DVD.
5 Run the srvadmin-install.sh shell script as shown below, which performs a
silent and unattended express installation. All of the components,
including any applicable remote access controller (DRAC III, DRAC 4, or
DRAC 5) software components, will be installed.
sh srvadmin-install.sh --express
or
sh srvadmin-install.sh -x
NOTE: Just before the Server Administrator RPMs are installed, the
srvadmin-install.sh shell script automatically calls the srvadmin-openipmi.sh
shell script to ensure that an appropriate version of the OpenIPMI driver is
currently installed on the system. If a sufficient version is not found, the
srvadmin-install.sh shell script calls the srvadmin-openipmi.sh shell script to
attempt to install a sufficient version. If the attempt fails for any reason, an
appropriate error message will be displayed with instructions describing how
to resolve the error. After resolving any error, you should then re-run the
srvadmin-install.sh shell script to install the managed system components.
Server Administrator services do not start automatically.
6 Start the Server Administrator services after the installation using the
srvadmin-services.sh script by using the sh srvadmin-services start command.
