• Directories might be left behind during an uninstall for reasons such as
sharing violations or open user interface connections. It is recommended
that you close all open interface sessions before you perform an
uninstallation. Manually remove directories left behind in the default
installation directory or the user-specified installation directory. You
might also have to manually remove the registry entries under

Installing Management Station Software
Only the BMC and the RAC features of the management station suite of
software can be used on a management station running Red Hat Enterprise
Linux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating systems.
NOTE: On the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 operating system, DVDs are
auto-mounted with the -noexec mount option. This option does not allow you to run
any executable from the DVD. You need to manually mount the DVD and then run
executables.
To install the BMC Management Utility onto a management station, perform
the following steps:
1
Log on as root to the system on which you want to install the
management station features.
2 If necessary, mount the Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation
DVD to a desired location using the mount command or
a similar command.
