On a Linux system: Type the following commands under a Linux command shell: mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy tar xvzf (full path to the archive) -C /mnt/floppy (Eg: /temp/xxxx.tar.gz) umount /mnt/floppy 2. On a Windows system: Use a utility such as Winzip to extract the contents to a diskette. NOTE: For Winzip, you will have to uncheck the "TAR file smart CR/LF conversion" option under: Options->Configuration->Miscellaneous for the extraction to work correctly. On the target system, mount the floppy created above as follows: mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy Install the individual utilites as described below. Installation of Dellmgr ======================= NOTE: If Dellmgr version 5.22 or older is already installed in the system, it will have to be uninstalled prior to installing the current version as follows: rpm -e dellmgr To install, enter the following on the command line: rpm -i Dellmgr-5.32-0.i386.rpm This will install following two files in the /usr/sbin directory dellmgr : 1,320 bytes : Script to call configuration utility binary (dellmgr.bin) dellmgr.bin : 593,044 bytes : Binary for configuration utility After installation type “dellmgr” to start the utility.

Fixes and Enhancements ====================== Dellmgr 5.32-0 fixes or changes ------------------------ 1. Added support for Express RAID controllers 2.

If the Rebuild completed with error and the f/w retunred error code 0x03 for rebuild progress cmd[with 100% progress], then monitor will report that: "RBLD is COMPLETED w/ERROR" for the associated physical drive. 2. Fixed ability to abort a Check consistency in progress. Linflash 3.03-0 fixes or changes ------------------------- 1. Return code was not correct for the cases of success and failure. Script file “linflash” modified. PercSNMP 4.10a-1 fixes or changes ------------------------- 1. During the startup the S55percagent script reported execution permission denied exception. The S55percsnmp script was not built in rpm with execution permission 2. Traps were not generated when the community is other than public. Previously the public string was hard coded and hence what ever the type of community string in the configuration file it was displayed as public, now the actual community string read from the configuration file is given to generate the traps. A private community entry shall be added in the configuration file and the generated traps may be observed.
