122 Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux and VMware ESX
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 VMware ESX,
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.
