installed on your management station.
Installing RACADM

station components.
2 If necessary, mount the Dell Systems Management Tools and
Documentation
DVD using the following command or a similar command:
mount /media/cdrom

Navigate to the /linux/rac directory and execute the following command:
rpm -ivh *.rpm
For help with the RACADM command, type racadm help after issuing the
previous commands.
Uninstalling RACADM
To uninstall RACADM, open a command prompt and type:
rpm -e <racadm_package_name>
where <racadm_package_name> is the rpm package that was used to
