Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems 149
The following is an example of custom RPMs-based installation of Server
Administrator, including the installation of the Storage Management Service
components.
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, mount the DVD using a command such as:
mount /dev/dvdrom /mnt/dvdrom .
4 Navigate to the SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/ <os> , where <os> is
RHEL4 or RHEL5 or SLES9 or SLES10 . Enter the operating system
specific directory corresponding to your system.
5 Type the following command.
rpm -ihv srvadmin-base/*.rpm srvadmin-
base/openipmi/*.rpm add-storageservices/*.rpm
NOTE: IPMI packages may already be installed on your system and hence
may not require re-installation.
Server Administrator services do not start automatically.
6 Start the Server Administrator services after the installation by using the
command:
sh srvadmin-services start
