Dell OpenManage Installation and Server Management Version 6.
What’s New None Installation • On Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, run setup.exe from the SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows directory of the DVD or the software package. NOTE: This step is not necessary if the DVD runs automatically. • On the Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® and SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server operating systems, to perform an "Express Install," execute the srvadmin-install.sh script from the SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts directory as follows: sh srvadmin-install.
User Notes for Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and VMware ESX Operating Systems • The OpenIPMI device driver used by Server Administrator will conflict with the Intel IMB device driver. You must uninstall the IMB driver before installing Server Administrator. • When Dell OpenManage Server Administrator is installed on a system, dependency issues related to RPMs may occur. To resolve these issues, install the missing RPMs from SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS.
To resolve the device driver build problems: 1. Update the DKMS version to 2.0.9 or later. 2. Uninstall the kernel source on your system. 3. Reinstall the kernel source on you system. 4. Build and install the device driver that was failing to build. 5. If Server Administrator has failed to install, either install Server Administrator using the following script, ./srvadmin-install.sh OR install the appropriate Server Administrator RPMs.
During an OS upgrade, some of the srvadmin packages may get removed. After an operating system upgrade, the Server Administrator needs to be reinstalled since the srvadmin packages installed may not be applicable for the upgraded operating system. For example, after an upgrade from SLES 10 to SLES 11, Server Administrator needs to be reinstalled as the SLES 10 srvadmin packages may not work with SLES 11. Versions Affected: 6.5 and earlier • Existing connection service lost after SLES11 upgrade.
