Preinstallation Setup
Ensure that you perform the following before installing Server Administrator:
● Read the installation instructions for the operating system.
● Read the Installation Requirements to ensure that the system meets or exceeds the minimum requirements.
● Read the applicable readme files and the Dell EMC OpenManage Systems Software Support Matrix.
● Close all applications running on the system before installing the Server Administrator applications.
Topics:
• Prerequisite Checker
• Installation Requirements
• Configuring SNMP Agents
• Secure Port Server And Security Setup
• Remote Enablement Requirements
Prerequisite Checker
The setup.exe (available at srvadmin\windows) starts the prerequisite checker program. The prerequisite checker program
examines the prerequisites for software components without launching the actual installation. This program displays a status
window that provides information about the system’s hardware and software that may affect the installation and operation of
software features.
NOTE:
To use supporting agents for the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), install the operating system
support for the SNMP standard before or after you install Server Administrator. For more information about installing
SNMP, see the installation instructions for the operating system you are running on the system.
Run the prerequisite checker silently by running runprereqchecks.exe /s from the
srvadmin\windows\PreReqChecker directory on the Systems Management Tools and Documentation software. After
running the prerequisite checker, an HTML file (omprereq.htm) is created in the %Temp% directory. This file contains the
results of the prerequisite check. The Temp directory is at X:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp.
To find %TEMP%, go to a command-line prompt and type echo %TEMP%.
The results are written under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Dell Computer Corporation\OpenManage
\PreReqChecks\MN\ key for a managed system:
While running the prerequisite checker silently, the return code from runprereqchecks.exe is the number associated with the
highest severity condition for all the software products. The return code numbers are the same as those used in the registry.
The following table details the return codes.
