b. If you are using a tar file from http://support.dell.com, download the file to a temporary directory
and extract the files:
$ tar -zxvf OMI-50-MN-LX_A01.tar.gz
where OMI-50-MN-LX_A01.tar.gz is the file downloaded from http://support.dell.com.
5. Install OpenManage by executing the installation script and following the onscreen instructions:
a. If you are installing Dell OpenManage on a PowerEdge 1855, PowerEdge 1955, or on a
system that does not have a Dell Remote Access Card (DRAC), use the following command:
$ ./srvadmin-install.sh –b –w –s
b. For all other configurations, use the following command:
$ ./srvadmin-install.sh –b –w –r –s
The options used in the Dell OpenManage installation script expand as:
b: Base install of OpenManage Server Administrator
w: Web interface for OpenManage Server Administrator
r: Dell Remote Access Controller (DRAC) services
s: OpenManage Storage Management (OMSM)
NOTICE: ESX Server Software does not support OpenManage diagnostics. The above command
omits diagnostics installation.
6. Start the OpenManage services using the following command:
$ srvadmin-services.sh start
NOTE: On an ESX Server 2.5.5 system with OpenManage 5.2, OM Shared Service fails to start up
on restarting the OM Services. This will not affect any supported functionality and may be safely
ignored.
7. If you have installed the IT Assistant management application on your network, configure the SNMP
daemon to send SNMP trap messages to the management console. Edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
and add the following line to the end of the file:
rocommunity <community_name>
trapcommunity <community_name>
trapsink <ITA_IP_Address> <community_name>
