Install Guide

a sucient version of the OpenIPMI device driver after Server Administrator has been installed. Server Administrator cannot prevent
this.
To account for a user uninstalling or replacing a sucient version of the OpenIPMI device driver after Server Administrator has been
installed, the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service checks the OpenIPMI device driver version whenever it is started. If a
sucient version of the OpenIPMI device driver is not found, the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service degrades itself so
that it does not provide any of the IPMI-based information or functionality. Primarily, this means that it does not provide any probe
data (for example, fans, temperatures, and voltage probe data.)
Installing Managed System Software
This section explains how to install managed system software using the following installation options:
Using the srvadmin-install.sh shell script
NOTE: If you have downloaded the managed system software installer (available as a .tar.gz le), the srvadmin-install.sh
shell script is present as setup.sh in the root directory.
Using the RPM command
Prerequisites For Installing Managed System Software
The prerequisites are:
Log in as root.
The running kernel must have loadable module support enabled.
The /opt directory must have at least 250 MB of free space, and the /tmp, /etc, and /var directories must each have at least 20
MB of free space.
Install the ucd-snmp or net-snmp package that is provided with the operating system if you use SNMP to manage the server. If
you want to use supporting agents for the ucd-snmp or net-snmp agent, you must install the operating system support for the
SNMP standard before you install Server Administrator. For more information about installing SNMP, see the installation
instructions for the operating system you are running on the system.
NOTE: When installing RPM packages, to avoid warnings concerning the RPM–GPG key, import the key with a
command similar to rpm --import <OM DVD mountpoint>/SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPM-GPG-KEY
In case of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 or later and SLES 11 SP2, install the wsman and sblim packages from the operating
system DVD. See, To install the wsman and sblim packages
Install all the prerequisite RPMs required for successful installation.
If the system had VMware ESXi (version 5.x or 6.x) factory-installed, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (versions 6.x and 7.x), or SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server (version 11 and 12), see the Dependent RPMs for Remote Enablement section for information on any
RPMs that you need to manually install prior to installing managed system software. Typically, you may not need to manually
install any RPMs.
Installing The wsman And sblim Packages
1. In Package selection, select Basic Server.
2. Select Customize now and click Next.
3. Select System Management group.
4. From the sub-category, select Web-based Enterprise ManagementOptional Packages option. The default selected
packages are: openwsman-client, sblim-sfcb, sblim-wbemcli, and wsmancli
Deselect the sblim-wbemcli package from the above list.
5. Select openwsman-server and click Next.
6. After the operating system installation, install libcmpiCppImpl0 package from the operating system DVD or using the Yum utility.
Installing Managed System Software Using The Provided Media
The installer uses RPMs to install each component. The software (DVD) is divided into subdirectories to enable easy custom
installation.
