Owner's Manual

To install Dell Online Diagnostics on Enterprise Linux Operating Systems, do the following:

Unzip the tar.gz file to a location on the system. The extracted files contain an install script: install.sh , and some
Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) packages.

3.

4.
To use the CLI on Linux, run pediags from /oldiags/bin in the installation directory.
NOTE : srvadmin-hapi component fails to install if your system does not have the minimum version of OpenIPMI required by
srvadmin-hapi. In this case, if IPMI is supported on your system, download OpenIPMI from
support.dell.com or install
OpenIPMI from the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD by running
./srvadmin-openipmi.sh from the
srvadmin/linux/supportscripts directory.
NOTE : Installing srvadmin-hapi or srvadmin-omilcore separately, using the rpm command fails on all PowerEdge SC
platforms.
NOTE : Few SC platforms like SC420, SC430, and SC1420 do not support IPMI. Memory and Dell Remote Access Controller
version 5 (DRAC 5) diagnostics are not available on those systems.
