Installing Management Station Software On Supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, And VMware ESX Server

Only RAC tools and BMU are supported on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESX Server operating systems.

On systems running 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 must mount the DVD-ROM manually and then run the executables.
To install BMU, navigate to the SYSMGMT/ManagementStation/linux/bmc directory and install the BMU RPM specific to the operating system as follows:
  • For systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux, type rpm -ivh osabmcutil*-RHEL-*.rpm
  • For systems running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, type rpm -ivh osabmcutil*-SUSE-*.rpm
To install the latest version of RAC Tools:
  1. Uninstall the existing IPMI tool:
    1. Query the existing IPMI tool: rpm -qa | grep ipmitool

      If the IPMI tool is already installed, the query returns ipmitool-x.x.xx-x.x.xx.

    2. To uninstall the IPMI tool:
      • On systems running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server and VMware ESX Server, type rpm -e ipmitool-x.x.xx-x.x.xx
      • On systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x, type rpm –e OpenIPMI-tools
      • On systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x, type rpm –e ipmitool
      • NOTE: The settings made by the existing IPMITOOL is retained.
  2. Navigate to the SYSMGMT/ManagementStation/linux/rac/<OS> directory and then type rpm -ivh *.rpm
