Server Administrator Version 7.4 Installation Guide

The following is an example of custom RPMs-based installation of Server Administrator, including the installation of the Remote Enablement feature and the Storage Management Service components.

1. Log in as root to the system running the supported operating system where you want to install the managed system components.
2. Insert the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD into the DVD drive.
3. Navigate to the operating system specific directory corresponding to the system.
4. Type the following command:

   rpm –ivh Server-Instrumentation/<arch>/*.rpm 
                                       add-StorageManagement/<arch>/*.rpm 
                                       RemoteEnablement/<arch>/*.rpm
                                    

   Server Administrator services do not start automatically.
   • NOTE: Ensure that you install Server Instrumentation or Remote Enablement before installing Remote Access Controller or Storage Management.
   • NOTE: If you choose to install the Remote Enablement feature, ensure that you install the dependent RPMs before installing this feature.
5. Start the Server Administrator services after the installation by using the command:

   sh srvadmin-services start

   • NOTE: You can install Server Administrator on any system that meets operating system dependencies. However, after installation, certain Server Administrator services may not be started on unsupported systems.
   • NOTE: When Server Administrator is installed on a system, dependency issues related to RPMs may occur. To resolve these issues, install the missing RPMs from SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS/opensourcecomponents. If the RPMs are not available in this directory, install these RPMs from the operating system media. If not available on the media, search for these RPMs on the Internet.
