dev/hpilo not present

damade — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:39:37 GMT

Hi all,

Can someone help with this.

Server -> HP proliant DL380

OS -> RHEL 4

ILO card is working. But password is LOST.

I wanted to reset it using the hponcfg utility.

-------

#hponcfg
HPONCFG RILOE II/iLO setup and configuration utility
Version 2.2 (c) Hewlett-Packard Company, 2009

ERROR: Could not find the iLO/RILOE-II Device Node.
Please check if the iLO driver module is installed and running properly.
ACTION REQUIRED: Install/Re-install hp Lights-Out driver package('hp-ilo' RPM) for iLO.

-----

I re-install the hp-ilo rpm... but error persists.

lspci shows the ilo card

01:04.0 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation Integrated Lights Out Controller (rev 01)
01:04.2 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation Integrated Lights Out Processor (rev 01)

but

/dev/hpilo does not exist.

and a strace to hponcfg shows

open("/dev/hpilo/d0ccb0", O_RDWR|O_EXCL) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Which could be the problem ? What can i do ?

after installng the .RPM, did you start the iLO channel driver?

/etc/init.d/hp-ilo status

if it's not running then;

/etc/init.d/hp-ilo start

What version of RHEL4? what is the current kenel version?

What version of hpilo rpm did you instal?

you might try this version, the instal notes state it should rebuild itself to work on the current kernel

you might try an older version that has the pre-built binary for your kernel

damade — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 17:27:13 GMT

Hello

can you help me to solve this problem i have the same problem and can not fix this

Re: dev/hpilo not present

MDella — Fri, 26 Sep 2014 21:32:35 GMT

I'm also having this problem except on a RH5.3 machine. The problem I read about here is a warning not to install the hp-ilo package on 5.3 or later.....

Also the "solution" above to link a package doesn't show exactly what happened, what was linked, etc. So I have a glimmer of a solution, but no a specific one...

BUT...
