The Server Administrator is designed for system administrators to manage

systems locally and remotely on a network. It allows system administrators to

focus on managing their entire network by providing comprehensive one-to-

one systems management.

You can install Server Administrator using the

Dell Systems Management Tools

and Documentation

media. The media provides a setup program to install,

upgrade, and uninstall the Server Administrator, managed system and

management station software components. Additionally, you can install the

Server Administrator on multiple systems through an unattended installation

across a network.

The Dell OpenManage installer provides installation scripts and RPM

packages to install and uninstall the Server Administrator and other managed

system software components on your managed system. For more information,

see the

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Installation Guide

and the

Dell OpenManage Management Station Software Installation Guide

Installing DX Cluster Services Node Software

If you have at least one data replica, any data on the failed storage node or

hard drive is replicated to another storage node in the cluster. Hardware status

for the DX Storage Nodes can be monitored from the

DX Object Storage

Node Administration Console

. Replace any failed hardware components on

the DX Storage Nodes as required to bring the failed node back into service.

The DX Cluster Services Node software distribution is available as a

collection of rpm packages that are installed with a self-extracting shell script.

The packages and their dependencies must be installed on the DX6

a

00

system as the root user.

To install DX Cluster Services Node software:

1

Download the latest version of the DX Cluster Services Node software

distribution available online at

support.dell.com/downloads

.

2

Copy the distributed zip file to your DX Cluster Services Node system and

unzip it into the directory of your choice.
