50 Installing Server Administrator
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 level, you may not have access to all functions
provided by the Storage Management. At the Storage Management Service
runtime, check your application log files for notifications on outdated
firmware versions. See the Storage Management readme (readme_sm.txt) for
a complete listing of supported controller firmware and driver versions.
Filesystem Hierarchy Standard v2.3 Support
File Hierarchy System (FHS) is a component of the larger Linux Standards Base
definition. In this release, Server Administrator supports the relocation of files.
A typical install places all files in: /opt/dell/srvadmin
The corresponding directories that are affected:
• Shareable (static) files in: /opt/dell/srvadmin
• Host specific files (user modifiable): /etc/opt/dell/srvadmin and
/etc/opt//srvadmin
• Dynamic (log) files: /var/tmp/dell/srvadmin , /var/tmp//srvadmin , and
/var/log/dell/srvadmin /var/log//srvadmin
For more information, see the Dell OpenManage Installation and Security
User's Guide.
