Installation
Prerequisites
For windows
You need to be logged in as a local or Domain Administrator.
To Install DSET on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 or later, Microsoft Windows Vista or newer,
run the DSET installer with elevated privileges using
"Run As"
option.
To install Remote Provider, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service must be
running.
If WMI is stopped, DSET starts WMI automatically and continues with installation.
If WMI is disabled, installation of DSET terminates with an error message.
For Linux
You need to be logged in as the root user.
Enable SSH services for remote report collection from Linux systems.
Make sure that the user credentials supplied for remote report collection can initiate SSH
connection and have root privileges.
NOTE: For Linux CIMOM, the default port 5988 (for http) or 5989 (for https) is used by the system to install Remote
Provider. If custom ports are used, update the configuration file available at /opt/dell/advdiags/dset/config/dset.cfg.
For silent installation:
On Linux Operating system for Silent installation of DSET application, CIMOM (SFCB or Open Pegasus) should
already be installed.
To install SFCB:
1. Locate the SFCB rpm from the Operating System Media.
2. Install SFCB rpm using "rpm -ivh sblim-sfcb-*.rpm"
3. Try to perform DSET silent installation.
To install Top-Pegasus:
1. Locate the Tog-Pegasus rpm from the Operating System Media.
2. Install Tog-Pegasus using "rpm -ivh tog-pegasus-*.rpm"
3. Start the Pegasus services.
4. Try to perform DSET silent installation.
Probable reasons for provider installation failure
The DSET installation or collection is blocked on Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system and CentOS, because
the SELinux option is enabled by default.
Resolution
Modify the security enforce feature using the command, setenforce 0.
Credential-less CIMOM authentication
