What do I do when management station RAC utility

installation fails due to missing RPM file?

During the installation of the management station RAC utility (mgmtst-racadm RPM under /SYSMGMT/ManagementStation/

linux/rac directory on the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD), the installation may fail due to missing RPM file

dependencies on libstdc++.so libraries. Install the compat-libstdc++ RPM provided in the same directory to resolve the dependency

and retry the installation.

When using the rpm -e 'rpm -qa | grep srvadmin'

command to remove systems management software, some

RPM utility versions may schedule an uninstallation in an

incorrect order, which results in users encountering

misleading warning or error messages. What is the

solution?

The solution is to use the systems management uninstall script srvadmin-uninstall.sh, provided on the DVD.

What do I do when I am asked to authenticate using the

root user account?

Systems Build and Update Utility adds a script to the root user's .bash_profile file that prompts for the installation of systems

management software. This script may interfere with remote client applications that authenticate using the root user account on the

system, but do not have a means to handle user prompts. To remedy this limitation, edit the .bash_profile file and comment the line [ $

{SHLVL}....

During uninstallation, error: %preun(srvadmin-NAME-X.Y.Z-N.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 error

message is displayed.

There may be problems uninstalling Server Administrator after an unsuccessful upgrade during a manual RPM upgrade. The following error

message is displayed:

error: %preun(srvadmin-NAME-X.Y.Z-N.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 1

In this case, NAME is a feature name, for example omacore. X.Y.Z-N is the version and build number of the feature. Some possible

solutions to rectify this problem:

1. Attempt to uninstall again. For example, use the following command:

rpm -e srvadmin-NAME-X.Y.Z-N.i386

2. Delete the upgrade.relocation=bad line if present in the /etc/omreg.cfg file and attempt to uninstall again.

Why am I getting a warning concerning the RPM package

key during installation?

The RPM files are signed with a digital signature. To avoid this warning, you should mount the media or package, and import the key using

a command such as the following:

rpm --import /mnt/dvdrom/SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPM-GPG-KEY
