 |
|
Has anyone tried this on a Compaq (HP) DL360?
I've managed to get the HP specific SNMP working, however, when I try to get the HPASM working I get a ton of /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions file not found.
the functions file appears to be redhat specific (that's the installs HP wants to use, binary RPMS). Does anyone have a gentoo version of the functions file? I'm no real script wizard and any help would be appreciated. |

Well after a long time of not focusing on this, I'm back at it.
I successfully got insight to load and run, but I can't get it to start on boot.
I've done the rc-update but the boot process seems to ignore it.
If I'm logged in as root, I can simply run /etc/init.d/hpasm start and it fires up, but not at boot, I don't even see an attempt.
I don't know much about how rc-update works, so do I need to tweak the scripts in /etc/init.d to make rc-update happy? |

| Are you trying to manually install hpasm (downloaded from HP)? Or, are you talking about the version currently in portage (app-admin/hpasm)? |

There's one in portage?!
Aaack, silly me I thought it was proprietary crap. I was trying to use the ones from HP's site and munging the stuff from the RedHat RPMS...
I'll give it a go with portage. Thanks! |

Keep in mind the one in portage is pretty old now (version 6.3), while hpasm is at 7.1 right now.
If I were you I'd try to make my own ebuild of 7.1 by copying what's in 6.3. If you get that to work you might want to file a bug report at bugs.gentoo.org, and get the developer to pumb the ebuild to the latest version.
Also, case you didn't know, HP has a linux version of hpsim (HP Systems Insight Manager). Very nice software for managing proliants. Check it out at http://www.hp.com/servers/manage.
Good luck! |

I'm going to give the 6.3 in portage a try first.
I managed to get the hp supplied ones base installs to work from a manual start, except the storage agents, they validate the disto. I just couldn't get them to start on boot. Right now I know enough about Gentoo to be really dangerous, and haven't looked into making ebuilds just yet. |

Can someone please give me instructions on how to properly emerge these ebuilds? Just download them with wget to where? Etc.
Thanks in advance,

Just wanted to say thank you tuxus for the great work. 
When will it hit portage? |

| Which flavors of Proliants are these tools compatible with? I perused HP's website but couldn't really come up with anything conclusive. I'm working with a Compaq Proliant 2500. If these tools work with the 2500, do they also have any functions for controlling the LCD screen? |

Can I beg you to finish the 7.2 ebuild??? I'm dying to get SLES9 off of this Proliant DL320.
I'd be happy to test it!
TIA

| From looking at the hpasm 7.1 and 7.2 packages, they look quite similar, so the 7.1 ebuild hopefully shouldn't take much modification. I got the redhat x64_emt64 7.1 version of the package partially working on a DL380 server with gentoo before , but I may soon have a go at getting the new version to work soon. I just don't want to mess anything up with the server as it's in almost constant use. |

Holy frick! I'm glad someone thinks this'll be easy! I just took a look at the hpasm-7.1.0.145.1.ebuild & it looks murderous to me!

Oooh! How soon? I've just installed Gentoo on my new Proliant 6500. If I'm right in thinking that these tools will enable me to set alerts when hard-drives are removed & suchlike, then this'd be a killer feature for me. I'm sure I'm not the only person who'd be glad to help test.

| I just installed the hpasm-7.2.1-313.rhel4.x86_64.rpm package on my DL380 Dual Xeon EMT64 server using the standard rpm tools. I can now run 'hpasmcli' to get a command line interface to the server management tools. Everything seems to work fine. I can now experiment a bit and try and write an e-build for the package. |

Well, you're getting further than I am! Did you `emerge rpm` & then just rpm the package? That was how I was expecting to do this in the first place, before I found this discussion.
I can't even get the previous ebuild to unpack, so I can take a look at how it works. I'm sure I must be doing something stupid. 
| Code: |
# ebuild unpack /usr/local/portage/app-admin/hpasm/hpasm-7.1.0.145.1.ebuild
!!! Name error in : missing a version or name part.
!!! Error: PF is null ''; exiting.
# ls /usr/local/portage/app-admin/hpasm/

I'm about to make an e-build for hpasm-7.2.1-313.rhel4.x86_64.rpm. This is for servers with 64-bit processors and the 2.6 kernel. Info on supported servers can be found at the bottom of this page.
The e-build will be based on the hpasm-6.30 ebuild which is currently in portage.
I'm only able to test it on a DL380 G4 server but it will most likely work with the other servers listed on that page. I have no idea if this rpm also works with the 2.4 kernel. but I'm guessing it doesn't. For that you would need the rhel3 version.
I did install it the way you mentioned, I did:
| Code: | emerge rpm
rpm -ivh hpasm-7.2.1-313.rhel4.x86_64.rpm |
The hpasm ebuild that is currently in portage simply converts the rpm to a tar.gz using the rpm2targz tool. Then it unpacks it, deletes all the symlinks in there, copies the rest of the files to the correct places then recreates the symlinks. Apparently you can't just unpack a symlink from an rpm because it just doesn't work. |

Ah! Many thanks. I think I'll be doing that myself, then. (Your ebuild won't be any good to me, as my Proliant is just an old PII).

Hmmmn... I don't understand the need for the ebuild, in that case. Excuse me if I'm missing something, but isn't distributing binary files what RPM was designed for?

Will there be a similar e-build available for x86 please?
2.6 kernels are being used more & more frequently, and I just can't get it working... I tried rpm-installing the hpasm-7.3.0-58.ul10.i386.rpm, but it gives me dependency errors (needs /bin/sh & /bin/bash)...
I also tried the redhat package instead of unified linux... |

You already have /bin/bash installed; since it behaves mostly like `sh` when invoked that way you'll find that it's symlinked to /bin/sh on most systems. You just need to "force" the rpm installation - I think there's a -f flag. |
