Server Administrator Version 8.5

Typical Installation

When you access the Server Administrator installation from the prerequisite checker and select the Typical Setup option, the setup program installs the following managed system software features:

  • Server Administrator Web Server
  • Server Instrumentation
  • Storage Management
  • Command Line Interface
  • WMI
  • SNMP
  • Operating System Logging
  • DRAC Command Line Tools
  • Intel SNMP Agent
  • Broadcom SNMP Agent
  • QLogic SNMP Agent

During a Typical installation, individual management station services that do not meet the specific hardware and software requirement for that service are not installed on the managed systems. For example, the Server Administrator Remote Access Controller service software module is not installed during a Typical installation unless the managed system has a remote access controller installed on it. You can, however, go to Custom Setup and select the DRAC Command Line Tools software module for installation.

NOTE: To install the drivers successfully, the installer runs in an elevated privilege mode.
NOTE: The Remote Enablement feature is available only through the Custom Setup option.
NOTE: Server Administrator installation also installs some of the required Visual C++ runtime components on the system.
NOTE: You can change the alert message format from Traditional Message Format to Enhanced Message Format using the Custom Setup option.
