Dell Chassis Management Controller Version 2.0 for PowerEdge FX2 and FX2s User's Guide

Installing remote RACADM on a Linux management station

1. Log in as root to the system running a supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server operating system where you want to install the managed system components.
2. Insert the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD into the DVD drive.
3. To mount the DVD to a required location, use the mount command or a similar command.
   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 mount the DVD-ROM manually, and then run the commands.
4. Navigate to the SYSMGMT/ManagementStation/linux/rac directory. To install the RAC software, type the following command:
   rpm -ivh *.rpm
5. For help about the RACADM command, type racadm help after you run the previous commands. For more information about RACADM, see the Chassis Management Controller for Dell PowerEdge FX2/FX2s RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.
   NOTE When using the RACADM remote capability, you must have the 'write' permission on the folders where you are using the RACADM subcommands, involving the file operations. For example, racadm getconfig -f <file name>.
