essential HP utilities for RHEL 6 on HPE Proliant Gen 9 servers

[deritchie]

Is there a quickstart document available that describes the system monitoring packages that should be loaded for a complete monitoring capability for a Proliant DL380 Gen 9 running Redhat Enterprise Linux 6?

I currently have the following installed:

hp-smh-templates-10.6.1-1481.4.noarch
hp-snmp-agents-10.61-2939.2.rhel6.x86_64
hpdiags-10.60.2199-2188.x86_64
hpacucli-9.40-12.0.x86_64
hpsmh-7.6.1-9.x86_64
hp-health-10.60-1838.1.rhel6.x86_64
hponcfg-5.1.0-0.x86_64

The issue that I am running up against is that hpacucli hangs. Machine is reasonable current with respect to SPP releases.

Sounds like old stuff ...

Why not installing the componets from SPP?

For monitoring you just need a connection to ILO, maybe the agentless service on the OS, for the array you need the SSA CLI (included in SPP).

Hmm,  perhaps I am doing this wrong. I just installed the individual packages as RPM's.  Is there another approach to doing this? Try to document this so we get it done in a consistant fashion in the future.

insert the SPP image, start hpsum and do a local server update.
