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 ucd-snmp or 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

Installing Managed System Software Using The Provided Media
The installer uses RPMs to install each component. The media (DVD) is divided into subdirectories to
enable easy custom installation.
NOTE: On the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x operating system, DVDs are auto-mounted with the -
noexec mount option. This option does not allow you to run any executable from the DVD.
Manually mount the DVD and then run executables.
