After the selected features are installed, the following message is displayed: iDRAC is an out-of-band management
system that allows system administrators to monitor and manage the PowerEdge Servers and
other network equipment, remotely. iDRAC works regardless of Power status and operating
system functionality. For more information, visit http://pilot.search.dell.com/iDRAC.
With this version of Server Administrator, Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is an optional security architecture that is
integrated into the kernels of Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating systems. You can now install an optional SELinux security
policy for Server Administrator. If the SELinux policy is set to "Permissive" mode, it logs any access to unnecessary OS
resources. If the policy is set to "Enforced" mode, it fully restricts and log any access to unnecessary OS resources.
For more information, see: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/
selinux_users_and_administrators_guide.
To install this Server Administrator SELinux policy, run this installer script again adding a -S or --selinux option after
installing Server Administrator.
5. Start the Server Administrator services after the installation using the srvadmin-services.sh script by using the sh
srvadmin-services start command.
Component-specific install using RPM commands
The RPMs specific to a particular OpenManage component are grouped together. To facilitate an RPM-based installation, install
the RPMs from the following directories:
● SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/<OS>/Remote-Enablement/< arch>
● SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/<OS>/SA-WebServer/<arch>
● SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/<OS>/Server-Instrumentation/<arch >
● SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/<OS>/add-StorageManagement/< arch>
● SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/custom/<OS>/add-iDRAC/<arch>
For example, if you are running Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7, you can customize the installation by adding the RPMs from
the following directories.
Table 6. RPM Directory
