Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if the installer throws a Visual Basic Script error on Windows?

Check your Internet Explorer Security settings and enable "Active Scripting" and "Scripting of Java Applets," or verify WSH configuration.

Which operating system is best for running CLI commands after installation?

Open a new console window to execute any CLI commands; they cannot be run from the same window where Server Administrator was installed.

The OpenManage driver conflicts with my existing hardware drivers; what should I do?

On Linux (RHEL/SUSE), uninstall the Intel IMB device driver before proceeding with the Server Administrator installation.

How do I resolve RPM dependency issues during a Linux install?

Install the missing Revolution Package Manager (RPM) files from SYSMGMT/srvadmin/linux/RPMS/supportRPMS, or use your operating system media.
