Installing OpenManage Server Administrator
You can install OpenManage Server Administrator using one of the following commands:
• yum
yum install srvadmin-all
• zypper
zypper install srvadmin-all
NOTE: OMSA does not support installation on unsupported systems. If you receive a message like 'the system is not
supported' while installing, it means the system is not supported and the installation fails. This is most common on SC-
class systems, as OMSA is completely unsupported on these systems.
NOTE: To use a 64–bit package on a 32-bit Dell package installed (srvadmin-dell_ie) on the system, uninstall the 32-bit
packages and install the 64-bit package. New installations help installing the architecture of OMSA that matches your
operating system.
