HP SIM 5.2 - Can't Install initial PSP

kris takach — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 19:21:04 GMT

When i try to install the 8.15 PSP on an HP server, i get an error stating "Dependancy Failed. Its installation requires one or more of the following to be installed.
- HP Proliant advanced system management controller driver for windows
- HP Proliant iLO advanced and enhanced system management controller driver for windows
-HP Proliant iLO 2 management controller driver for windows."

I installed those but with error.

Anyone have any ideas?

It is a DL 380. But it is a VMWare ESX server. Could that be the problem? If so, what can i do to fix it?

You need to install the hp management agent on to the vmware server and that will monitor the hardware.

latest here for esx 3.5

So you can not use HP SIM to monitor a server's health which has VMWare installed? The VMWare ESX software installs the HP agent and the ESX interface monitors the health?

You install the agents as described above.
The agents are configured to send SNMP Traps if they detect a hardware issue. HPSIM polls to ensure the server is available.
This is the same process for Windows, ESX and Linux on HP Proliant servers.

The installation is different on ESX. I recommend extracting the file and then editing up the hpmgmt.conf file as described in the README file and using that in a silent install.
