Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux and VMware ESX Server Operating
Using the Shell Script to Perform the Custom Installation in Interactive Mode
This procedure uses the installation shell script to prompt you for the
installation of specific components through the installation.
1
Log in as root to the system running the supported 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.
3 If necessary, mount the DVD using the command:
mount /dev/dvdrom /mnt/dvdrom
4
Navigate to SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts if you are using
the DVD.
5 Execute the script with the sh srvadmin-install.sh command,
which displays a list of component options. If any of the components are
already installed, then those components are listed separately with a check
mark next to them. The Server Administrator custom installation options
are displayed.
6 Press <c> to copy, <i> to install, <r> to reset and start over, or <q>
to quit.
• If you press <c>, you are prompted to enter the absolute destination
path.
• If you press <i>, a message states that the RPMs will be installed in
the
/opt/dell/srvadmin directory. You can then press <y> to change,
or press <Enter> to use the default installation path.
When the installation is completed, the script will have an option for
starting the services.
7 Press <n> to exit. You can start the services manually later.
