Developers Guide

Using YUM

NOTE: Ensure that you are using the latest version of YUM as the older versions do not support

plug-ins or mirrorlists.

If you are using YUM with CentOS, or Scientific Linux, ensure that the plug-ins are enabled as the system

connects to a system specific repository using a YUM plug-in. If the plug-in is not enabled, the repository

will not work properly and you will not be able to install packages from the repository. Add the

plugins=1 line, to your yum.conf, if the plug-in is not enabled.

The following command line will work for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6, CentOS, and Scientific Linux:

yum install srvadmin-all

After the installation, type the following command to start the Server Administrator services:

srvadmin-services start

NOTE: You can install YUM as an add-on for SLES 9 or 10.

Using RUG

You can install Server Administrator using rug for SLES 10 or higher.

rug install srvadmin-base

rug install srvadmin-webserver

rug install srvadmin-storageservices

NOTE: You must have setserial installed, if you want to install srvadmin-all.

Using ZYPPER

You can install Server Administrator using zypper for SLES 11 or higher.

zypper install srvadmin-all

Uninstalling Managed System Software

To uninstall Managed System Software, log in as root.

Uninstalling Managed System Software Using The Uninstall Script

An uninstallation script is installed when you install Server Administrator. Execute the script by typing

srvadmin-uninstall.sh and then pressing <Enter>.

Uninstalling Managed System Software Using The RPM Command

The individual components of systems management software can be uninstalled without uninstalling all

of systems management.

To uninstall only the Server Administrator Web Server, use the command rpm –e `rpm -qa | grep

srvadmin-tomcat`.
