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 file) from support.dell.com, the srvadmin-install.sh shell
script is present as setup.sh in the root directory.
• Using the RPM command
For information on the various components of Server Administrator available
in Dell OpenManage version 6.5 and to help you choose the required
components to install, see "Deployment Scenarios for Server Administrator".
Prerequisites for Installing Managed System Software
• You must be logged 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.
•The
ucd-snmp or net-snmp package that is provided with the operating
