Release Notes

components on your managed system. Additionally, you can install Server
Administrator on multiple systems through an unattended installation
across your network.
- First install method: Use the provided custom install
script, "srvadmin-install.sh." This script allows unattended
express installation and custom, unattended, or interactive
installation. By including the "srvadmin-install.sh" script in
your Linux scripts, you may install Server Administrator on single
or multiple systems, in attended or unattended modes and locally
or across a network.
- Second install method - Use the Server Administrator RPM
packages provided in the custom directories and the Linux "rpm"
command. This allows custom interactive installation. You may
write Linux scripts that install Server Administrator on single
or multiple systems through an unattended installation locally or
across a network.
Using a combination of the two install methods is not recommended.
It may be required that you manually install required Server
Administrator RPM packages provided in the custom directories,
using the Linux "rpm" command.
* During the install of the management station RAC utility ( mgmtst-racadm
RPM under /SYSMGMT/ManagementStation/linux/rac directory on the "Dell
Systems Management Tools and Documentation" DVD), the install
may fail due to missing RPM file dependencies on libstdc++.so libraries.
Install the compat-libstdc++ rpm provided in the same directory to resolve
the dependency and retry the installation.

* There are a few additional components that can be installed on a
system that already has Server Administrator installed. For
example, you can install Online Diagnostics on a system
that has previously been installed with managed system software.
On such a system, while uninstalling Server Administrator, only
those RPM packages that are not required by any of the newly
installed components are uninstalled. In the above example, Online Diagnostics
requires packages such as -
"srvadmin-omilcore-X.Y.Z-N" and "srvadmin-hapi-X.Y.Z-N." These
packages will not get uninstalled during an uninstallation of Server
Administrator.
In this case, if you try to install Server Administrator later
by running the "sh srvadmin-install.sh" command, you
will get the following message:
"Server Administrator version X.Y.Z is currently installed.
Installed Components are:
- srvadmin-omilcore-X.Y.Z-N
- srvadmin-hapi-X.Y.Z-N
