Can't start hpvca on FC5, is there a workaround ?

DonKiShoot — Tue, 06 Jun 2006 09:06:26 GMT

Hello,

I try to start all hp linux management services on a proliant G4P with FC5.
No big problem with this rpm from RHEL4 :
hpasm, hprsm, hpsmh and cmanic

But still can't get working hpvca.

When i try to launch hpvca normally :
/etc/init.d/hpvca start
HP Version Control Agent :/bin/bash: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Or this file exist :
[root@srv78supervision ~]# locate libdl.so.2
/lib/libdl.so.2

Then i try to comment #export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL="2.4.1"
in the start script :
/etc/init.d/hpvca start
HP Version Control Agent :/opt/hp/vcagent/bin/vcagentd: relocation error: /opt/hp/vcagent/bin/vcagentd: symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

[root@srv78supervision ~]# objdump -T /opt/hp/vcagent/bin/vcagentd | grep errno
08180e30 g DO .bss 00000004 GLIBC_2.0 errno

[root@srv78supervision ~]# objdump -T /lib/libc.so.6 | grep errno
00000008 g D .tbss 00000004 GLIBC_PRIVATE errno

It seems that PRIVATE show that it is impossible to start correctly but i'm not a good programmer ;-)

Someone have an idea ? a workaround ?

Thx for your help
Sorry for my poor English

Shalom,

Your english is fine.

Your choice of HP software, perhaps not so fine.

The LD_ASSUME_KERNEL settting makes clear to me that this driver is not certified for the 2.6 kernel, at least the one that comes with Fedora Core 5.

I belive this configuration is simply unsupported.

Ok !
My procurve IOS is buggy and now it is my hp management software that is not very transportable.

HP should give their developpers much money for having good procurve IOS and good linux drivers and softwares.

I'm angry !!!

I am not pleased either.

Fedora is not supported.
A possible work around - use CentOS.

This distro is the REdHat ES Operating System except all references to RH have been removed.

Still unsupported but you may have better luck
