NOTE:
● On a Systems Management upgrade, Dell EMC recommends upgrading to the latest open-source components available
on the Dell EMC OpenManage Systems Management Tools and Documentation software or from www.dell.com/
Support/Home.
● If you are upgrading the operating system to a major version, uninstall the existing version of Systems Management and
install the supported version.
The installation scripts and RPM packages specific to supported Linux and VMware ESXi operating systems are provided
to install and uninstall the Server Administrator and other managed system software components. These installation scripts
and RPMs are located in the SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts directory available in the Dell EMC OpenManage
Systems Management Tools and Documentation software.
NOTE:
Before you migrate to Systems Management software, ensure that you uninstall the Systems Management
and other open-source components (openwsman-server, openwsman-client, libwsman1, sblim-sfcb, sblim-sfcc,
libcmpiCppImpl0, libsmbios2, smbios-utils-bin) installed as part of the Systems Management.
The install script srvadmin-install.sh enables silent or interactive installation. By including the srvadmin-install.sh script in
the Linux scripts, install Server Administrator locally or across a network on single or multiple systems.
The second install method uses the Server Administrator RPM packages that are provided in the custom directories and the
Linux rpm command. Write Linux scripts that install Server Administrator locally or across a network on single or multiple
systems.
Using a combination of the two install methods is not recommended and may require that you manually install the required
Server Administrator RPM packages provided in the custom directories, using the Linux rpm command.

Support Matrix at www.dell.com/OpenManageManuals.
