I've tried both gui installation and --nui installation of HP support packs (CSP)

Any idea ?

Back in the USA, we had to diable insight manager on Windows servers because it was causing problems, generating a lot of network traffic and clogging our network.

First question I'd ask is do you need inight manager. Next, I'd consider a different and later version of both the OS (RH) and insight if you really need it.

SEP

[Louis Coilliot]

I can't change the OS, it's the choice of my client (and anyway, Oracle is already installed on the server with databases, I can't reinstall it now)

For the versions of Insight, I've tried with 7.3 and 7.4, I don't think it would be better with older one, especially with this recent OS.

And yes I need Insight for (centralised) management.

So, I had to deal with this problem, no options.

Hi,

I had the same problem with an earlier version of RHEL ES V4 and V4U1.

In the end I gave up, as I didnt particularly like how the insight manager installed a number of components (ie its own SNMP software). I only wanted access to cpqacuxe, however HP has gone mad and integrated everything - which doesnt help if you want as close as possible vanilla Redhat environment!

Sorry that I cannot help, my posts on this didnt go very far either and I suspect it is better to log a call with HP on this one - after all its their mess!

Robert.

Technically, update 2 isn't supported by hpasm yet. The update came out after the software did, so it wasn't tested by either party.

So, here's the workaround:
Install the kernel-devel pkg.

Alot of the psp is dependant on the source code for the kernel, by installing the kernel-devel pkg, it will create the lib.modules that the psp install is looking for (like an alias for the /usr/src and /usr/lib directories)

You may have already resolved this but I'm grappling with the same problem and came across this link from oracle that might resolve the problem,

http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1092587

I'm going to test by moving /usr/lib/libcwait.so to /lib/libcwait.so and modify /etc/ld.so.preload to point to the relocated libcwait.so.

Fingers crossed.

[Louis Coilliot]

GREAT !

Yes, I forgot to mention that there was an Oracle installation on this server.

Thanks a lot.
