Install Guide

• Deployment Scenarios for Server Administrator
• Optional Command Line Settings
Typical Installation
When you access the Server Administrator installation from the prerequisite checker and select the Typical Setup option, the setup
program installs the following managed system software features:
• Server Administrator Web Server
• Server Instrumentation
• Storage Management
• Command Line Interface
• WMI
• SNMP
• Operating System Logging
• DRAC Command Line Tools
• Intel SNMP Agent
• Broadcom SNMP Agent
• QLogic SNMP Agent
During a Typical installation, individual management station services that do not meet the specic hardware and software requirement for
that service are not installed on the managed systems. For example, the Server Administrator Remote Access Controller service software
module is not installed during a Typical installation unless the managed system has a remote access controller installed on it. You can,
however, go to Custom Setup and select the DRAC Command Line Tools software module for installation.
NOTE
: To install the drivers successfully, the installer runs in an elevated privilege mode.
NOTE: The Remote Enablement feature is available only through the Custom Setup option.
NOTE: Server Administrator installation also installs some of the required Visual C++ runtime components on the system.
NOTE: You can change the alert message format from Traditional Message Format to Enhanced Message Format using the
Custom Setup option.
NOTE: When you upgrade from a 32-bit OMSA to 64-bit, the Server Administrator Web Server preferences and node
conguration preferences are exported to a default folder C:\ProgramData\Dell\ServerAdministrator.
At the time of typical install, if the exported settings are detected by the installer, then the preferences are imported into the new
installation of OMSA.
At the time of import, the default preferences as well as the inputs provided at the time of fresh install are overwritten by the settings
in the exported folder.
On a successful import of the settings, the exported preferences stored in the default folder C:\ProgramData\Dell
\ServerAdministrator are deleted. In case the import fails, the failure is logged and preferences are rolled back to the defaults.
Custom Installation
The sections that follow describe how to install Server Administrator and other managed system software using the Custom Setup option.
NOTE
: Management station and managed system services can be installed in the same or in dierent directories. You can select
the directory for installation.
NOTE: To install the drivers successfully, the installer runs in an elevated privilege mode.
