Unable to install HP agents on Windows server 2008 R2

[Mikael Rönnbäck]

We are beta-testing Windows server 2008 R2 and I've noted that we are unable to install any HP agents. The drivers such as NIC drivers works fine, but no agents can be installed, and so we are also unable to connect the server to the central HP SIM management server.

Is there any information on when there will be any HPSSD or HP agents available for Windows server 2008 R2 ?

What is the server model?

HP Blade BL465c G5

we installed PSP 8.16 on BL460c without problems

I assume PSP 8.20 also support R2

Ok, in that case, how did you install it ?
Just using the HPSUM setup.exe or any other way ?

Since when I run HPSUM it installs the NIC drivers, the disk drivers, the smh and the version control agent, but I can´t get the agents to install so in SMH I can't see no items except VCA.

And trying manual installation just gives this

Name: HP Insight Management Agents for Windows Server 2003/2008
x64 Editions
New Version: 8.22.0.0

Beginning Silent Session...

The software is not supported for installation on this system.

Installed used HPSUM
Did you tried PSP 8.16 from my link ?

Thanks, finally got it working using the 8.20 installation files.

The setback is that once the ILO driver and the Insight Agents now are in place I can of course see HW status, but on the other hand I immediately ran into the ASR reset issue...

Oh well, at least I did anticipate that would happen :)

Still thanks for the version info.

Versions below HP SSD 8.16 does not install on Windows 2008 R2, use 8.16 or above.
