Installing Managed System Software on Supported Linux Operating Systems 145
Re-attempt to install the srvadmin-hapi RPM and any other RPMs that
failed to install as they depend on the srvadmin-hapi RPM. Perform the
following steps:
1
Navigate to the SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom directory.
2 Run the following command to see which Server Administrator packages
were previously successfully installed.
rpm –qa | grep srvadmin
The query displays a list of all installed Server Administrator packages.
3 Install every RPM in the directory that was previously not installed, as they
depended on the
srvadmin-hapi RPM that previously failed to install, by
running the following command:
rpm –ihv srvadmin-hapi*.rpm srvadmin-isvc*.rpm
srvadmin-omhip*.rpm srvadmin-<any-other-
packages>*.rpm
Additionally, during the installation of the srvadmin-hapi RPM using RPM, if
a required version of the OpenIPMI RPM is currently installed on the system,
but OpenIPMI driver modules have not been built and installed for the given
version of the OpenIPMI driver (because the kernel-source RPM is required but
is not currently installed,) the srvadmin-hapi RPM will fail to install and will
display an error message. The error message will state that you need to install
the kernel-source RPM and build the OpenIPMI driver. In such a case, any
RPMs that depend on the srvadmin-hapi RPM will also fail to install. In such
a situation, install the kernel-source RPM and build and install the
OpenIPMI driver modules, by performing the following additional steps:
1
On systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux (version 4) and SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server (version 9 and 10), the
kernel*-devel RPMs
provide the necessary source for building kernel modules. Install the
kernel-source RPM or kernel*-devel RPMs by running the following
command from where you have found or copied the RPM(s):
rpm –ihv kernel*.rpm
2
Navigate to the SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts directory.
3 Run the srvadmin-openipmi.sh shell script as shown below. This will build
and install the OpenIPMI driver modules.
sh srvadmin-openipmi.sh install
