28 Installing and Setting Up the CMC

Installing Remote Access Software on a

Management Station

You can access the CMC from a management station using remote access

software, such as the Telnet, Secure Shell (SSH), or serial console utilities

provided on your operating system or using the Web interface.

If you want to use remote RACADM from your management station, you will

need to install it using the Dell Systems Management Tools and

Documentation DVD. Your system includes the Dell Systems Management

Tools and Documentation DVD. This DVD includes the following Dell

OpenManage components:

• DVD root - Contains the Dell Systems Build and Update Utility

• SYSMGMT - Contains the systems management software products

including Dell OpenManage Server Administrator

• docs - Contains documentation for systems, systems management

software products, peripherals, and RAID controllers

• SERVICE - Contains the tools you need to configure your system, and

delivers the latest diagnostics and Dell-optimized drivers for your system

For information about installing Dell OpenManage software components, see

the Dell OpenManage Installation and Security User's Guide available on the

DVD or at support.dell.com.

Installing RACADM on a Linux Management Station

Log on as root to the system running a supported Red Hat

Enterprise

Linux

or SUSE

Linux Enterprise Server operating system where you

want to install the managed system components.

Insert the

Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation

DVD

into

the DVD drive.

If necessary, mount the DVD to a location of your choice using the mount

command or a similar command.

NOTE: On the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 operating system, DVDs are auto-

mounted with the

-noexec mount option. This option does not allow you to run

any executable from the DVD. You need to manually mount the DVD-ROM and then

run the executables.
