When trying to install the System Management Homepage rpm on OpenSUSE 10.2, I get the following error :
This Linux distribution is not supported.
error: %pre(hpsmh-2.1.10-186.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 255
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping hpsmh-2.1.10-186
Is it possible to install the package in some way, regardless of this error?
Regards,
erik

Re: System management homepage on OpenSUSE?
Officially OpenSUSE isn't supported, however SLES is. It should work on any Linux, only thing is, is it the correct file for your (OS/CPU) architecture?
If it's correct, you could try the --force switch for the command. Let's know how it goes.

Re: System management homepage on OpenSUSE?
It's a ProLiant ML350 G5 server, running OpenSuSe 10.2 (x86-64).
The package I'm using is for SLES 10 (AMD64/EM64T)
Just to make sure, I've tried the x86 package as well (since it's possible to install 32-bit software on a 64-bit OS, just not the other way 'round). No dice, either.
Using --force gives the same result :
VMSERVER01:~/Desktop # rpm -ivh --force hpsmh-2.1.10-186.linux.x86_64.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
This Linux distribution is not supported.
error: %pre(hpsmh-2.1.10-186.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 255
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping hpsmh-2.1.10-186

Re: System management homepage on OpenSUSE?
I am thinking of changing the distribution stamp, i.e. change something, somewhere, that makes openSUSE recognized as SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10.
I am trying out stuff, 1. to see if it's possible, 2. if it is feasible to change this info on a productions system.
I'll need some more time to check.

SolutionIt seems like the installation is failing because of a pre installation script checking for the distribution version.
The --nopre or --noscripts option can be used to prevent the scripts from running.
A handy link for all possible switches to the rpm command:

Re: System management homepage on OpenSUSE?
Before installing the rpm, I had to manually create a group hpsmh , and a user hpsmh with this group. With this user/group in place installation proceeded without any errors whatsoever.
Perhaps I should've read the the manpages a little more thoroughly :-)
I don't know if this is the way it's meant to be, but when logging in to http://localhost:2381 I don't get any agents installed, no reports either, but I *can* play with the settings.
I assume this means installation was successful, but that I need to install some other modules manually. That's something to play with next week, though.
Thanks a lot for you help!

Re: System management homepage on OpenSUSE?
You will need the management agents from under the section "Software - System Management" for the "software and drivers"
download page for your server.
For e.g. NIC agents, VCA, System Health & Insight Management agents.
One thing I forgot to mention (which may not hold relevance now) is that although SLES & openSUSE are considered to be the same, there might be some difference(s) which MAY result in some output not matching our expectations. :-)
