Release Notes

* If you performed a default manual install of your Linux operating
system without using Dell Systems Build and Update Utility, you will
need a set of Server Administrator-dependent RPM files installed prior
to installing Server Administrator.
These RPM files can be found on the Red Hat operating system media.
You can locate them under the "SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS" directory on the
DVD, or software package. Under this directory, there are sub-
directories "RHEL4," "RHEL5," "SLES9", and "SLES10".
Navigate to the subdirectory that matches your
Linux operating system and run "rpm -Uvh *" to install these
RPM files prior to installing Server Administrator.
* If you have performed a non-default install of your Linux
operating system using your Linux operating system media, you may
see missing RPM file dependencies while installing Server
Administrator. Server Administrator is a 32-bit
application. When installed on a system running a 64-bit version of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system, the Server Administrator
remains a 32-bit application, while the device drivers installed by
Server Administrator are 64-bit. If you attempt to install Server
Administrator on a system running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (versions
4 and 5) for Intel EM64T, ensure that you install the applicable 32-bit
versions of the missing RPM file dependencies. The 32-bit RPM
versions always have "i386" in the file name extension. You may also
experience failed shared object files (files with "so" in the file
name extension) dependencies. In this case, you can determine which
RPM is needed to install the shared object, by using the RPM
"--whatprovides" switch. For example:
rpm -q --whatprovides libpam.so.0
An RPM name such as "pam-0.75-64" could be returned, so obtain and
install the "pam-0.75-64.i386.rpm". When Server Administrator is
installed on a system running a 64-bit version of a Linux operating
system, ensure that the "compat-libstdc++-<version>.i386.rpm" RPM
package is installed. You will need to resolve the dependencies
manually by installing the missing RPM files from your Linux
operating system media.
Note: If you are using later versions of supported Linux operating
systems and the RPM files available in the directory
"SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS" on the DVD
are incompatible, use the latest RPMs from your Operating System media.
* Source packages for Open Source RPMs are available on an orderable
DVD image.
* The OpenIPMI device driver used by Server Administrator will
conflict with the Intel IMB device driver. Dell requires that you
uninstall the IMB driver before installing Server Administrator.
* Non-factory Installation Methods:
You can install managed systems software using one of the two
methods. The media contains scripts and RPM packages to install, upgrade,
and uninstall Server Administrator and other managed system software
