Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems 155
Upgrading From Version 4.3 or Later
For Dell OpenManage software versions 4.3 and later, you can upgrade your
system using RPM commands or the srvadmin-install.sh shell script.
Ensure that all installed components are upgraded when you perform either
procedure.
Using the RPM
1 Log on as root to the system running Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server that requires the upgraded managed system
components.
2 Insert the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD into
the DVD drive on your system.
If the DVD does not mount automatically, use a command similar to the
following:
mount /dev/dvdrom/ mnt/dvdrom
mount /dev/dvdrom /media/dvdrom
3
After the DVD mounts, navigate to the RPMS directory by using a
command similar to the following:
cd /media/dvdrom/SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/<os>
where <os> is RHEL4 or RHEL5 or SLES9 or SLES10. Enter the
appropriate directory name that applies to your system.
4 Upgrade the Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
system using a single long command or individual RPMs. The single long
command is a combination of RPMs and can be executed by typing just
one command.
Upgrade with the following command if you are upgrading from version 5.0:
rpm -Uhv `rpm -q --queryformat "%{NAME}* "
\`rpm -qa | grep srvadmin\``
If upgrading from 4. x , use a command like the following:
rpm -Uhv openipmi/openipmi*.rpm srvadmin-
ipmi*.rpm `rpm -q --queryformat "%{NAME}* "
\`rpm -qa | grep srvadmin\``
