Ensure that you perform the following before installing Server
Administrator:
Read the installation instructions for the operating system.
Read the Installation Requirements to ensure that the system meets
or exceeds the minimum requirements.
Read the applicable readme files and the Systems Software Support
Matrix.
Close all applications running on the system before installing
the Server Administrator applications.
On systems running the Linux
operating system, ensure that all operating system RPM Package Manager
(RPM) packages required by the Server Administrator RPMs are installed.
If the system had VMware ESXi factory-installed, Red Hat Enterprise
Linux, or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, see the Dependent RPMs for
Remote Enablement section for information about any RPMs that
you need to manually install before installing managed system software.
Typically, manual installation of RPMs is not required.
