Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find the list of supported operating systems and platforms?

Check the latest Dell Software Support Matrix on the media or at ""support.dell.com"".

How do I perform an 'Express Install' on Red Hat or SUSE Linux?

Execute the ""srvadmin-install.sh"" script from the ""SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/supportscripts"" directory using: ""sh srvadmin-install.sh -x"".

What should I do if upgrading Dell OpenManage after a significant version gap?

If your current version is prior to 4.3, you must uninstall the old version first. Alternatively, upgrade to version 4.3 first.

Why might installing OpenManage from virtual media fail?

Low bandwidth or high latency on a Wide Area Network (WAN) can cause failure; copy the Web install package locally instead.
