Installing Managed System Software
This section explains how to install managed system software using the
following installation options:
•Using the
srvadmin-install.sh
shell script for express installs or custom
installs
NOTE: If you have downloaded the managed system software installer
(available as a .tar.gz file) from the Dell Support site at support.dell.com, the
srvadmin-install.sh shell script is present as setup.sh in the root directory.
• Using RPM commands for custom installs
For information on the various components of Server Administrator available
in Dell OpenManage version 6.3 and to help you choose the required
components to install, see "Deployment Scenarios for Server Administrator".
Prerequisites for Installing Managed System Software
• You must be logged in as
root
.
• The running kernel must have loadable module support enabled.
•The
/opt
directory must have at least 250 MB of free space, and the
/tmp
,
/etc
,
and
/var
directories must each have at least 20 MB of free space.
•The
ucd-snmp
or
net-snmp
package that is provided with the operating
system must be installed if you use SNMP to manage your server. If you
want to use supporting agents for the
ucd-snmp
or
net-snmp
agent,
you must install the operating system support for the SNMP standard
before you install Server Administrator. For more information about
installing SNMP, see the installation instructions for the operating system
you are running on your system.
NOTE: When installing an RPM package in VMware ESX, Red Hat Enterprise
Linux, or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, to avoid warnings concerning the
RPM–GPG key, import the key with a command similar to the following:
rpm --import /mnt/dvdrom/SYSMGMT/srvadmin/
linux/RPM-GPG-KEY
• Install all the prerequisite RPMs required for successful installation.
If your system had VMware ESX (version 4 or 4.1) factory-installed, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (versions 4 and 5), or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
(version 10 and 11), see the "Dependent RPMs for Remote Enablement"
