Starting Dell Manager
Make sure the program file is in the correct directory before you enter the command to start Dell Manager. For Linux, use the Dell Manager RPM to install files in
the usr/sbin directory. The RPM installs them automatically in that directory.
Type dellmgr to start the program.
Using Dell Manager in Red Hat Linux GUI Mode
On a Red Hat Linux system, for Dell Manager to work correctly in a terminal in GUI Mode, you must set the terminal type to linux and keyboard mappings.
Perform the procedure below if you use konsole, gnome terminal, or xterm.
The linux console mode, which you select from the terminal with the File —> Linux Console command, works correctly by default. The text mode console (non-
GUI) also works correctly by default.
To prepare the system to use Dell Manager, perform the following steps:
1. Start the Terminal.
2. Before you enter dellmgr to start Dell Manager, type the following commands:
TERM=linux
Export TERM
3. Select Settings—> Keyboard—> Linux Console from the Terminal menu.
l <Shift><1> for <F1>
l <Shift><2> for <F2>
l <Shift><3> for <F3>
l <Shift><4> for <F4>
l <Shift><5> for <F5>
l <Shift><6> for <F6>
l <Shift><7> for <F7>
l <Shift><0> for <F10>
NOTE: In the BIOS Configuration Utility, pressing <Ctrl><M> has the same effect as pressing <Enter>.
NOTE: On a Red Hat Linux 8.x system, when you run Dell Manager (v. x.xx) from a Gnome-terminal in XWindows, the <F10> key cannot be used to
create a logical drive. Instead, use the alternate keys <Shift><0>. (This is not an issue if Xterm is used to call dellmgr). The following is a list of
alternate keys you can use in case of problems with keys <F1> through <F7>, and <F10>:
