Installing management
station software on supported Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Novell SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESX/ESXi Server
Only RAC tools and BMU are supported on the
Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware
ESX/ESXi 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:
Uninstall the existing IPMI tool:
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.
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 6.x, type
rpm –e ipmitool
On systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x, type
rpm –e OpenIPMI-tools
NOTE: The settings
made by the existing IPMITOOL is retained.
NOTE: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x is not supported from OpenManage 8.4
Browse to the
SYSMGMT/ManagementStation/linux/rac/<OS> directory and then type
