Installer Location

The location of the installers for 32–bit and 64–bit are:

• 32–bit: DVD Drive\SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagement\SysMgmt.msi

• 64–bit: DVD Drive\SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows\SystemsManagementx64\SysMgmtx64.msi

Installing Server Administrator

This section explains how to install the Server Administrator and other managed system software using two

installation options:

• Using the setup program at \SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows on the

Systems Management Tools and

Documentation

DVD.

• Using the unattended installation method through the Windows Installer Engine msiexec.exe.

NOTE: SNMP service is stopped and started during Systems Management installation and uninstallation. As a

result, other third-party services, dependent on SNMP stop. If the third-party services are stopped, manually

restart the services.

NOTE: For Blade systems,install Server Administrator on each server module installed in the chassis.

NOTE: During installation of Server Administrator on supported Windows systems, if an Out of Memory error

message is displayed, exit the installation and free up memory. Close other applications or perform any other task

that frees up memory, before reattempting Server Administrator installation.

NOTE: If you use the MSI file to try to install Server Administrator on a system where the User Account Control

settings

is set to a greater level, the installation fails and displays a message: Server Administrator

installation program could not install the HAPI driver

. You must perform the

installation process as an administrator. You can also install Server Administrator successfully by the following

methods:

• Click the setup.exe file, or

• Right-click Command Prompt → Run as administrator, and then run the installer command in CLI mode. For

more information on CLI mode, see Installing Managed System Software In CLI Mode

The setup program invokes the prerequisite checker, which uses the system's Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)

bus to search for installed hardware such as controller cards.
