Server Administrator Guide d'installation de la version 7.4

Installing Managed System Software On Supported Linux And VMware ESX

The Systems Management installer supports both 32-bit and 64-bit architecture. The following table explains the operating system installation matrix for Systems Management.

Tableau 1. Operating System Installation Matrix
Operating System Architecture 32-bit Architecture 64-bit Architecture
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 64-bit Not Supported Install
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 32-bit Install or Upgrade Not supported
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 64-bit Not supported Install
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 SP 3 64-bit Not supported Install
ESX 4.1 U3 64-bit Install Not supported
ESXi 4.1 U3 64-bit Not supported Install
ESXi 5.1 U2 64-bit Not supported Install
ESXi 5.0 U3 64-bit Not supported Install
ESXi 5.5 64-bit Not supported Install
  • REMARQUE : On a Systems Management upgrade, it is recommended to upgrade to the latest open source components available on the DVD.
  • REMARQUE : If you are upgrading the operating system to a major version (from SLES 10 to SLES 11), uninstall the existing version of Systems Management and install the supported version.
  • REMARQUE : Before you migrate to a 64-bit version of Systems Management software, make sure to uninstall the 32-bit Systems Management and other OpenSource components ( openwsman-server, openwsman-client, libwsman1, sblim-sfcb, sblim-sfcc, libcmpiCppImpl0, libsmbios2, smbios-utils-bin) installed as part of the 32-bit Systems Management.
  • REMARQUE : The Inventory Collector RPM ( srvadmin-cm) requires the following RPMs to be preinstalled on servers prior to 11G running supported 64-bit Linux operating system.
    • glibc.i686
    • compat-libstdc++.i686
    • libstdc++.i686
    • zlib.i686libxml2.i686

    If the dependent RPMs are not installed then Inventory Collector will not function as expected and exits with error messages.

  • REMARQUE : On systems running the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 (32-bit) operating system the Emulex driver is dependent on the following RPMs:
    • kernel-headers-2.6.18-346.el5.i386.rpm
    • glibc-headers-2.5-107.i386.rpm
    • glibc-devel-2.5-107.i386.rpm
    • gcc-4.1.2-54.el5.i386.rpm

    If any of the RPMs listed above are missing, the system experiences issues in detecting the Emulex Network Adapters.

The installation scripts and RPM packages specific to supported Linux and VMware ESX operating systems are provided to install and uninstall the Server Administrator and other managed system software components. These installation scripts and RPMs are located in the SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts directory available in the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD.

The install script srvadmin-install.sh allows silent or interactive installation. By including the srvadmin-install.sh script in the Linux scripts, install Server Administrator locally or across a network on single or multiple systems.

The second install method uses the Server Administrator RPM packages provided in the custom directories and the Linux rpm command. Write Linux scripts that install Server Administrator locally or across a network on single or multiple systems.

Using a combination of the two install methods is not recommended and may require that you manually install the required Server Administrator RPM packages provided in the custom directories, using the Linux rpm command.

For information on supported platforms and supported operating systems, see the Systems Software Support Matrix.
