Problem installing hp-health on debian lenny/proliant dl120

[Erwan Lemonnier]

Hello!

I am trying to install the debian package hp-health_8.2.5.47-11_amd64.deb found inside the latest proliant support pack. I am running on a debian lenny 5.0.1. And it does not work:

WWW0:~# apt-get install hp-health

hp-health is already the newest version.

My system has one ipmi device:
WWW0:~# ls /dev/ | grep -i ipmi
ipmi0

And when I run '/etc/init.d/hp-health start' with '/bin/sh -x', I get the following trace:

When I try starting hpasmpld by hand, I get this error:

WWW0:~# /opt/hp/hp-health/bin/hpasmpld -f /dev/ipmi0
hpasmpld: Failed to inialize HP iLO Code Interface: Illegal seek

So what should I do?
Pleeez, help!

Some more information :)
In /var/log/daemon.log, hpasmpld writes the following:

Nov 30 15:23:22 WWW0 hpasmpld: Dup Entity(00)/(00) from 31 - 33 (sensor range)

A strace on 'hpasmpld -f /dev/ipmi0' shows that each logged error corresponds to blocks similar to:

open("/dev/console", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_APPEND, 0666) = 5
fstat(5, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(5, 1), ...}) = 0
ioctl(5, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, {B38400 -opost -isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7f2de019d000
fstat(5, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0600, st_rdev=makedev(5, 1), ...}) = 0
lseek(5, 0, SEEK_END) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)


Anybody having an idea as to what's going on?

Kind regards,

Just a quick "me too". I get this on two identical systems.

Model : HP DL180 G5
OS : OpenSuSE11.1
RPMS : hp-health-8.2.5-50.sles11,OpenIPMI-2.0.14-1.36
Firmware : Management Firmware version 3.11

/opt/hp/hp-health/bin/hpasmpld -f /dev/ipmi0
hpasmpld: Failed to initialize HP iLO Code Interface: Illegal seek

I am not actively looking into this. But if there is an answer, I would appreciate it.

I spent some time trying to solve this for CentOS 5.5 on DL 120 G5.

Eventualy i contacted HP support. They replyed:

PSP is not supported on the 100 series servers. Please do not install it. It will not work.
