94 Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems
The following is an example of custom RPMs-based installation of Server
Administrator, including the installation of the Remote Enablement feature
and 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.
3 If necessary, mount the DVD using a command such as:
mount /dev/dvdrom /mnt/dvdrom .
4 Navigate to the SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/ <os> , where <os> is
ESX35 or ESX40 or RHEL4 or RHEL5 or SLES10 or SLES11 . Enter the
operating system specific directory corresponding to your system.
5 Type the following command:
rpm -ihv Server-Instrumentation/*.rpm
add-StorageManagement/*.rpm
RemoteEnablement/*.rpm
Server Administrator services do not start automatically.
For example, If you are running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 4), you can
customize the installation by adding the RPMs from the following directories:
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/
RHEL4/add-StorageManagement
Storage Management component packages
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 4)
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/
RHEL4/SA-WebServer
Server Administrator Web Server component
packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux
(version 4)
SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/
RHEL4/Server-Instrumentation
Server Instrumentation packages for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (version 4)
