[roliva]

Hello,

I have an issue with hponcfg command :

[root@qvidlas2 tmp]# hponcfg
HPONCFG RILOE II/iLO setup and configuration utility
Version 1.6 (c) Hewlett-Packard Company, 2005-2006

ERROR: Couldn't detect iLO/RILOE-II device.
iLO/RILOE-II Driver module is not running OR
iLO/RILOE-II Hardware does not exist OR
There is some problem in detecting iLO/RILOE-II Hardware.
[root@qvidlas2 tmp]#


I have removed hponcfg and hprsm packages.. but I encounter sone issue on one server during hprsm installation :
[root@qvidlas2 tmp]# rpm -i hprsm-7.9.0-108.rhel4.x86_64.rpm

Someone can help me ?

Thanks,

Not very sure, but it could be looking for the system health & insight management agents which provided communication & health status monitoring for the installed hardware components.

See this link (assuming you have RHEL4 since you have hprsm for RHEL4):

http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/27590.html?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

Install the above system health and insight management agents and then try installing hprsm & hponcfg.

Good Luck!

Apparently, the installation is failing due to an issue with build environment or absent hardware.

Either hprsm can't detect your iLO/RILOE hardware, or may be due to missing libraries for the build.

Please reboot the server & see if your iLO/RILOE initializes during POST. If it doesn't, it's a physical problem with it. If it initializes, but you still can't install hprsm, try to update the firmware for iLO/RILOE.

Not too sure, how to check for the missing build libraries though. You could check for the required dependencies for the hprsm by:

rpm -qp --requires

i.e. rpm -qp --requires hprsm.xx.x.x

The other thing you can try is, to skip the script execution in rpm, by adding the --noscripts switch.

Hello,

The ILO works properly... and the firmware are identical on several servers on which hponcfg command works.

It seems all necessary libraies are installed :
[root@qvifsal2 ~]# rpm -qp --requires /tmp/hprsm-7.9.0-108.rhel4.x86_64.rpm
/bin/sh
/bin/bash
hpasm >= 7.5.0
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
[root@qvifsal2 ~]#


With --noscripts option the result is the same...

[root@qvifsal2 ~]# rpm -i --noscripts /tmp/hprsm-7.9.0-108.rhel4.x86_64.rpm
[root@qvifsal2 ~]#
[root@qvifsal2 ~]#
[root@qvifsal2 ~]# rpm -i /tmp/hponcfg-1.6.0-1.linux.rpm
[root@qvifsal2 ~]#
[root@qvifsal2 ~]#
[root@qvifsal2 ~]# hponcfg
HPONCFG RILOE II/iLO setup and configuration utility

Have you got ohter ideas ?


Thanks,

I think there is an issue with cpqci module... on impacted servers this module isn't loaded in kernel...

# lsmod |grep cpq
cpqci 42344 0

Oh great! Then you should be looking for HP Lights-Out Drivers and Agents for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 at:

http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/27045.html

OR

I have just checked all RPM install scripts and I found the issue... sometimes gcc wasn't installed on some servers.

So, I have to find why gcc isn't installed everytime by kickstart.

Thanks for your help.

[~sesh]

Great stuff! Thanks for the update.

Hello,
I have the same issue, but the gcc is installed
hardware : ProLiant DL380 G3
SO : Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
