Dell EMC OpenManage Installation Guide — Linux Version 9.4

Prerequisites For Installing Managed System Software

The prerequisites are:

• Log in as root.
• The running kernel must have loadable module support enabled.
• The /opt directory must have at least 250 MB of free space, and the /tmp, /etc, and /var directories must each have at least 20 MB of free space.
• Install the net-snmp package that is provided with the operating system if you use SNMP to manage the server. If you want to use supporting agents for the ucd-snmp or net-snmp agent, you must install the operating system support for the SNMP standard before you install Server Administrator. For more information about installing SNMP, see the installation instructions for the operating system you are running on the system.

NOTE: When installing RPM packages, to avoid warnings concerning the RPM-GPG key, import the key with a command similar to rpm --import <OM DVD mountpoint>/SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPM-GPG-KEY

NOTE: Before installing Server Administrator on SLES15, you must install insserv-compat package else the installation fails.

• In Red Hat Enterprise Linux or later and SLES, install the wsman and sblim packages from the operating system DVD. See, To install the wsman and sblim packages
• Install all the prerequisite RPMs required for successful installation.

  If the system had 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, you may not need to manually install any RPMs.
