148 Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems
Using Dell OpenManage with VMware
®
ESX
Server™ Software
NOTE: Dell OpenManage installation with VMware ESX Server software requires
special steps. These steps vary depending on the Dell OpenManage version and
ESX Server version; only a limited number of combinations are supported.
See the VMware Systems Compatibility Guide located in the Resource Center
at www.dell.com/vmware to determine the versions of ESX Server software
compatible with this release of Dell OpenManage. Each ESX Server release
from Dell has an associated Dell VMware ESX Server Deployment Guide,
also posted at this Web location. Instructions for installing supported
versions of Dell OpenManage available at the time of that ESX Server release
are found in that ESX Server release's Deployment Guide. Instructions for
installing any supported subsequently released versions of Dell OpenManage
are posted to the same location in a separate, clearly labeled document.
Using Dell OpenManage with Citrix
®
XenServer
Dell Edition™
Dell OpenManage Server Administrator is pre-installed in Citrix XenServer Dell
Edition, hence no installation steps are required. See the
Citrix XenServer Dell
Edition Solution Guide
at
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/software/Citrix/ for details on using Dell
OpenManage with Citrix XenServer Dell Edition.
Managed System Software Installation Using
Third-Party Deployment Software
You can use third-party deployment software, such as Altiris Deployment
Solution, to install managed system software onto supported Dell servers. To
distribute and install managed system software using Altiris, start your Altiris
application and import OpenManage_Jobs.bin located at
SYSMGMT\srvadmin\support\Altiris on the Dell Systems Management Tools
and Documentation DVD. Specify a job folder into which you want to import
OpenManage_Jobs.bin. You might need to modify the Run Script and Copy
File tasks to match your deployment environment. Once complete, you can
then schedule your job to run on the supported Dell systems that are
managed from within your Altiris Deployment Solution.
