CentOS 6.2 + hp-health = fail

[linko22]

Hello!

I have to upgrage my DL160 G6 server from CentOS 6.0 to CentOS 6.2 and my hp-health stop working now.

I have strange messages in my /var/log/messages:

Dec 29 13:13:17 s14 hpasmpld[2918]: ehpsmb_parse_SMBIOS: SMBIOSInitTable was not successful.
Dec 29 13:13:17 s14 kernel: hpasmpld:2918 map pfn expected mapping type uncached-minus for 9e000-a0000, got write-back
Dec 29 13:13:17 s14 kernel: hpasmpld[2918]: segfault at 0 ip 0000000000414008 sp 00007fff08fb8df8 error 4 in hpasmpld[400000+2a000]

I've googled those messages - but found nothing, google say "No results containing all your search terms were found."

I have upgrade BIOS, BMC to latest verrsion, try use BMC version 4.22 4.21 4.20 and still nothing.

IPMI load seccess, /dev/ipmi0 present, dmidecode say me "SMBIOS 2.7 present.",

IPMI Device Information
Interface Type: KCS (Keyboard Control Style)
Specification Version: 2.0
I2C Slave Address: 0x10
NV Storage Device Address: 1
Base Address: 0x0000000000000CA2 (I/O)
Register Spacing: Successive Byte Boundaries

Also i try use

hp-health-8.6.2.2-14.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

hp-health-8.7.0.22-11.rhel5.x86_64.rpm

hp-health-8.7.0.22-17.rhel6.x86_64.rpm

Nothing.

I have another HP DL160 G6 server with CentOS 6.2 - at him all work fine.

What do i wrong?

Hi linko22,

the **exact** same problem here. Could you get any further insight?

Thanks, Florian

I have the same problem. 

12x DL160 + RHEL6.2 + hp-health = FAIL segfault

1x DL160 + RHEL5.8 + hp-health = SUCCESS

7x DL385 + RHEL6.2 + hp-health = SUCCESS

It's stuff like this HP.  Also if you have the broken package installed it throttles your processor because it thinks it's overtemp. *sigh*

Hi Matt,

thanks for your reply. 

Did you open a bug?

And can you tell me the version of the installed RPMs  you're using where it's working?

Thanks, Florian

Hi

same problem here on two DL180 G6 + Centos 6.2 x86_64

There are some news about this issue?

hpasmpld[17567]: ehpsmb_parse_SMBIOS: SMBIOSInitTable was not successful.
kernel: hpasmpld:17567 map pfn expected mapping type uncached-minus for 9e000-a0000, got write-back

 Thanks

Hi SirKliv,

to cut it short: What finally did it for me, was ask HP to replace the mainboard. It's working flawless now.

I also have just encountered this bug.  The same exact DL160G6 machines that I had running OpenSUSE 11.2 worked witht the SLES11 8.5.0 hp-health.  Reloading those machines with CentOS 6.2 produces the same bug that everyone else here has identified.  I have a hard time believing this is hardware related.  Looks to me it's a bug in 8.6 and beyond as the 8.5 RHEL driver does appear to work.  My issue occurs with the use of the SNMP package which at the 8.5 level doesn't work with the CentOS6.2 snmp library levels.

This one just died on me too. same error. RHEL6.3!

Not sure why it is HP-ProLiantSupportPack since it seems to be configured for SPP

downgrading to 9.0.0 or 8.7.0 does not cure it, the coredump is the same:

We have a DL180G6 with CentOS 6.3 and are getting :

System was fine before upgrade from 6.0 -> 6.3

# rpm -q hp-health
hp-health-9.1.0.42-54.rhel6.x86_64

Has anyone got any ideas how we can get this fixed ?

TIA
