Installing Server Administrator 41
For example, if you install Server Administrator on drive C: and then install Citrix, it will change your
drive letter C: to M:. This results in Server Administrator not working properly if you install Citrix after
installing Server Administrator. You can repair Server Administrator by typing:
msiexec.exe /fa SysMgmt.msi
Considerations Before Installing Storage Management Service
Storage Management is integrated with Server Administrator. The Dell OpenManage Storage
Management is a replacement for Array Manager.
If you install the Storage Management Service 2.0, any previous installation of Storage Management
Service will be uninstalled.
PERC Console and FAST Compatibility Issues When Installing the Storage Management Service
Installing Storage Management on a system that has FAST or the PERC Console installed is an
unsupported configuration. In particular, you may find that the Storage Management Service or the
FAST features are disabled at run time when using the Storage Management Service on a system that
also has FAST installed. Therefore, it is recommended that you uninstall FAST and the PERC Console
before installing the Storage Management Service.
Dell OpenManage Storage Management replaces all storage management features provided by FAST
and the PERC Console. In addition, the Storage Management Service has features not provided by
FAST and the PERC Console.
Compatibility With Linux Utilities When Installing the Storage Management Service
It is recommended that you do not install the Storage Management Service on a Linux system that has
RAID storage management utilities provided by Dell or other vendors. You should uninstall these
utilities before installing the Storage Management Service. The Storage Management Service replaces
the storage management features provided by these utilities. Examples of the Linux utilities provided by
Dell or other vendors include:
• LinFlash
• DellMgr
•DellMON
• LINLib
• MegaMgr
• MegaMON
Prerequisite Drivers and Firmware on Linux and the Storage Management Service
On Linux, the Storage Management installation is unable to detect whether the drivers and firmware on
the system are at the required level for installing and using Storage Management. When installing on
Linux, you will be able to complete the installation regardless of whether the driver and firmware
versions meet the required level. However, if the driver and firmware versions do not meet the required
