DL 385 G10 Insight Software

dbdata — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 10:53:13 GMT

Used to be HPE included what we called a "Junk Pak Kit" with every new server. Mostly starter kits for things we didn't buy and applications for software that was obsolete/

It also had, if you remember, that Broadcom NIC adapter update that would brick your etire server ....

... but deep inside the DVD was the system management software that was quite useful.

I have a DL385 G10 Plus server running LINUX 9 and I'd like what the used to call the "system health monitor" software that allowed access to the stats, etc. from the web browser and had then email info for system alerts and also the on-0line 410I array monitor software.

Where can I find a link to the stuff?

Hello,

You may try the HPE Systems Insight Manager for Linux and install the Insight Management MIB update kit for HPE Systems Insight Manager for Linux/HP-UX. Also you may try the Agentless Management Service (iLO5, iLO 6) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Server for server management.

You may also try HPE InfoSight for Servers. You may refer to the HPE InfoSight for Servers Getting Started Guide for more information.

Regards,

Thanks - but this is what has been vexing me ever since HP & HPE split:

The link you sent on insight software links to https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/product?language=en_US&ismnp=0&l5oid=489496&cep=on&kmpmoid=4171638&tab=driversAndSoftware

which in turn links to https://support.hpe.com/connect/s/softwaredetails?language=en_US&softwareId=MTX_20e341a472014e558643e24ca8

wich in turn links to https://downloads.hpe.com/pub/softlib2/software1/pubsw-linux/p1021889198/v59910/hpsimlinux.html

which links to http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/dl_linux.html

Which reads This Site Can't Be Reached

At which point I have pretty much lost the will to live.

No the problem is not solved.

"Forwarding my concern" is NOT the same as fixing my problem

The problem has been solved.

Here is a list of software that does not work and/or does not even provide the utility we require *akk suggested by "official" HPE employees:

SIM_7.6_Z7550-96286.bin

sum-9.1.0-11.rhel9.x86_64.rpm

sum-10.1.0-8.rhel9.x86_64.rpm

IP381.2022_0930.2.iso

P52581_001_gen10spp-2022.09.01.00-SPP2022090100.2022_0930.1.iso

P52582_001_gen11spp-2023.02.00.00-Gen11SPP2023020000.2023_0130.21.iso

ssa-6.10-14.0.x86_64.rpm

And then last night at 11pm we found the answer on another section of the HPE web site:

The SMH software set is not supported on Gen 10 and Gen 11 systems and no substitute software is available or planned

Total Incompetence

Gen 10 and Gen 11 Proliant Servers

Or, in the words of my customer last night:

"Nevermind. We'll order our own server from Dell, please get this piece of junk out of our rack."
