Overview
The Dell™ OpenManage™ installer provides installation scripts and RPM
packages to install and uninstall Dell OpenManage Server Administrator and
other managed system software components on your managed system.
Additionally, you can install Server Administrator on multiple systems
through an unattended installation across a network.
The first installation method uses the 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 can install Server Administrator on single or multiple systems,
in attended or unattended mode, and locally or across a network.
The second install method uses the Server Administrator RPM packages
provided in the custom directories and the Linux rpm command. This allows
custom interactive installation. You can write Linux scripts that install Server
Administrator on a single or multiple systems through an unattended
installation locally or across a network.
Using a combination of the two install methods is not recommended and may
require that you manually install required Server Administrator RPM
packages provided in the custom directories, using the Linux rpm command.
