NOTE: To manage the server, select either Server Administrator Web Server or one of the

Management Interfaces – CLI, SNMP or OS LOG along with Server Instrumentation (SI) or Server

Administrator Storage Management Service (OMSS).

NOTE: Command line options for [-t] and [-g] cannot be used without a management interface.

These options need to be combined with management interface options such as [-w], [-i], [-z], [-l],

or [-m]. For more information on custom installations, see Server Administrator Custom Installation

Utility.

OpenIPMI Device Driver

The Server Instrumentation feature of Server Administrator requires the OpenIPMI device driver that

provides IPMI-based information and functionality.

All supported Linux systems contain the required version of IPMI module in the default kernel itself. You

do not have to install the IPMI RPM. For more information on supported systems, see the Systems

Software Support Matrix.

Degradation Of Functionality When The Server Administrator

Instrumentation Service Is Started

After Server Administrator is installed, the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service performs a

run‑time check of the OpenIPMI device driver whenever it is started. The Server Administrator

Instrumentation Service is started whenever you run either the srvadmin-services.sh start or

srvadmin‑services.sh restart commands, or when you restart the system (during which the Server

Administrator Instrumentation Service is started.)

Server Administrator installation blocks the installation of Server Administrator packages if an appropriate

version of the OpenIPMI device driver is not currently installed on the system. However, it is still possible,

though not typical, that you can uninstall or replace a sufficient version of the OpenIPMI device driver

after Server Administrator has been installed. Server Administrator cannot prevent this.

To account for a user uninstalling or replacing a sufficient version of the OpenIPMI device driver after

Server Administrator has been installed, the Server Administrator Instrumentation Service checks the
