Hostname in OA via PSP

JoshuaRoberts — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 07:34:15 GMT

Hi,

Was wondering if anybody knows which package in the PSP for Red Hat Linux updates the blade server names in the c7000 OA. We have a bunch of RHEL servers without the PSP that all show 'host is unnamed'. We can manually update it via the iLO however we have a bunch of blades with the PSP installed and they show the FQDN in the OA.

We don't usually like to install all the PSP packages, only a select few we use on a regular basis such as hpacucli.

Regards,

Josh

My guess would be one of the HP Lights-Out Agents in the hp-snmp-agents package. The descriptions from "man hp-snmp-agents":

cmarackd: "gathers information about rack systems such as rack power supplies and fans"
cmasm2d: "fulfills SNMP requests made to the iLO interface"
cpqriisd: "opens a channel interface for cmarackd"

I can confirm on Gen8 servers with RHEL 6.1+ installing the hp-ams RPM will populate the hostname in the iLO/OA.

I can confirm on iLO2/3 the hp-snmp-agents package seems to do the trick!
