Installing Server Administrator

This section explains how to install the Server Administrator and other managed system software using two installation options:

  • Using the setup program at \SYSMGMT\srvadmin\windows on the Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD.
  • Using the unattended installation method through the Windows Installer Engine msiexec.exe.
NOTE: SNMP service is stopped and started during Systems Management installation and uninstallation. As a result, other third-party services, dependent on SNMP stop. If the third-party services are stopped, manually restart the services.
NOTE: For Blade systems,install Server Administrator on each server module installed in the chassis.
NOTE: During installation of Server Administrator on supported Windows systems, if an Out of Memory error message is displayed, exit the installation and free up memory. Close other applications or perform any other task that frees up memory, before reattempting Server Administrator installation.
NOTE: If you use the MSI file to try to install Server Administrator on a system where the User Account Control settings is set to a greater level, the installation fails and displays a message: Server Administrator installation program could not install the HAPI driver. You must perform the installation process as an administrator. You can also install Server Administrator successfully by the following methods:

The setup program invokes the prerequisite checker, which uses the system's Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus to search for installed hardware such as controller cards.

The Systems Management installer features a Typical Setup option and a Custom Setup option for installing Server Administrator and other managed system software.
