Users Guide

NOTE: If you require 64-bit packages, uninstall the existing 32-bit packages before installing

the new software. Server Administrator is designed to match your current operating system.

Installation Using Linux Repository

You can install Server Administrator using the Linux Repository by following any of the methods listed

below:

NOTE: Ensure that you set up the Linux Repository before you install the software from the

repository.

NOTE: Server Administrator will not install on unsupported systems. If you try installing Server

Administrator on unsupported systems, you will receive a message that the system is not supported

and the installation will fail.

Using YUM

NOTE: Ensure that you are using the latest version of YUM as the older versions do not support

plug-ins or mirrorlists.

If you are using YUM with CentOS, or Scientific Linux, ensure that the plug-ins are enabled as the system

connects to a system specific repository using a YUM plug-in. If the plug-in is not enabled, the repository

will not work properly and you will not be able to install packages from the repository. Add the

plugins=1 line, to your yum.conf, if the plug-in is not enabled.

The following command line will work for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6, CentOS, and Scientific Linux:

yum install srvadmin-all

After the installation, type the following command to start the Server Administrator services:

srvadmin-services start

NOTE: You can install YUM as an add-on for SLES 9 or 10.

rug install srvadmin-webserver

rug install srvadmin-storageservices

NOTE: You must have setserial installed, if you want to install srvadmin-all.
