Server Administrator Version 7.4 Installation Guide

PDF

Installation Using Linux Repository

You can install Server Administrator using the Linux Repository by following any of the methods listed below:
  • NOTE: Ensure that you set up the Linux Repository before you install the software from the repository.
  • NOTE: Server Administrator will not install on unsupported systems. If you try installing Server Administrator on unsupported systems, you will receive a message that the system is not supported and the installation will fail.

Using YUM

  • NOTE: Ensure that you are using the latest version of YUM as the older versions do not support plug-ins or mirrorlists.

If you are using YUM with CentOS, or Scientific Linux, ensure that the plug-ins are enabled as the system connects to a system specific repository using a YUM plug-in. If the plug-in is not enabled, the repository will not work properly and you will not be able to install packages from the repository. Add the plugins=1 line, to your yum.conf, if the plug-in is not enabled.

The following command line will work for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6, CentOS, and Scientific Linux: 

yum install srvadmin-all

After the installation, type the following command to start the Server Administrator services: 

srvadmin-services start
  • NOTE: You can install YUM as an add-on for SLES 9 or 10.

Using RUG

You can install Server Administrator using rug for SLES 10 or higher.

rug install srvadmin-base 
rug install srvadmin-webserver 
rug install srvadmin-storageservices
  • NOTE: You must have setserial installed, if you want to install srvadmin-all.

Using ZYPPER

You can install Server Administrator using zypper for SLES 11 or higher. 

zypper install srvadmin-all
