OK on Ubuntu 12.04
I managed to get a little further with the help of the following
Download the "HP_Power_Manager_Server_software_Z7550_00046.zip" file
unzip contents somewhere
inside is "HP Power Manager Server Software 4.3.2 Linux.tar.gz"
unzip that to somehwere
inside is files
eula
PowerManager-4.3-2.i586.rpm
Setup
Uninstall
Download and install alien
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install alien dpkg-dev debhelper build-essential
install 32bit libraries
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
then
you need to upack the rpm and modify the control file
so
sudo alien -g PowerManager-4.3-2.i586.rpm
cd package-dir/
sudo vi debian/control
change architecture to be 64bit as well as 32bit
eg change
Architecture: i386
to
Architecture: i386, amd64
save and close
last step
sudo debian/rules binary
will create the .deb file
now install the package
sudo dpkg -i powermanager_4.3-3_amd64.deb
then we fixup some things
I had to edit the startup script
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S91DevMan
changed anything with double brckets to single brackets
eg
[[ changed to just [
]] changed to just ]
also this line
if [ -a $LIBPATH/SmbPath ] ; then
changed to
if [ -z $LIBPATH/SmbPath ] ; then
Next the following commands
export LANG=en
cd /usr/local/DevMan
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /usr/local/DevMan
Move startup script to correct places
sudo cp /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S91DevMan /etc/rc1.d
sudo cp /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S91DevMan /etc/rc2.d
sudo cp /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S91DevMan /etc/rc3.d
sudo cp /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S91DevMan /etc/rc4.d
sudo cp /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S91DevMan /etc/rc5.d
Because there is no etc /init.d/functions file, create an empty file.
sudo touch /etc/init.d/functions
and reboot
Check it's working
cd /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/
the run "sudo S91DevMan status"
$ sudo ./S91DevMan status
UPS Device Manager Service Status:
=================================================
DevManBE not running
start it up with "sudo S91DevMan start"
$ sudo ./S91DevMan start
Starting UPS Device Manager Service:
EXE : DevManBE
done.
Now check it's working once more
$ sudo ./S91DevMan status
UPS Device Manager Service Status:
=================================================
root 10090 1 0 21:21 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/DevMan/DevManBE daemon
it running and from the above changes SHOULD auto start at bootup
web browser to 127.0.0.1
brings up the Powermanager interface, log in as admin/admin
unfortunately thats as far as I get... as it doesn't detect my R/T2200 with USB cable
you can also try running DMSetup in the folder
cd /usr/local/DevMan
eg
sudo ./DMSetup
to change things like port number to listen on etc
and walk thru the steps...like I say unfortunately for meI am stuck here....as it only wants /dev/ttys0 type selections (serial not USB)
will keep probing and try a Serial cable next
Just performed the above steps again, this time using a serial cable
And works just fine. Can control all load segments etc... give status of events as it should blah blah
Nice.
Hope it helps someone.
