Debian and Systems Insight Manager

[Bill Cullen_1]

Hi,

I have a machine running Debian 3.0R2 (Woody) and would like to make it a Systems Insight Manager server. Looking at the downloads it seems that SIM is only available for:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 with update 1
SuSE SLES 8.0 (based on United Linux 1.0 kernel)

Does anyone know if its possible to install SIM on Debian or if HP will release a package for Debian.

Thanks

nothing on debian.

You may want to work about it but I think it's wasted time, because a lot of things may change while you're working.

Anyway you could
1) alienize hp rpms
2) recompile a brand new kernel using hp-compliant module sources
3) search for errors.

maybe some hp responsible may tell if I'm wrong

Peace, R.

Well, haven't tried it yet, but it should work on debian, following these guidelines:

Hope this helps.. Feedback on this is appreciated if you get it working..

Good luck.

Hi,

I have the same problem on my system (DL380G3/Debian Woody3.0r2 unstable)

Unfortunatly, you links seems to be broken... have any other url to give to us ?

[KristofH]

Indeed, maybe check the homepage:
http://www.sk-tech.net/

There's a direct link there (http://www.sk-tech.net/links.htm) in wich you can find the HP/Debian stuff.

good luck, and let us know if it works..

Cheers.

I tried the HPrpm2deb and succeeded in making it working.

However I got some other troubles, I can't see the computer inside compat insight manager.

How to configure snmp and hp agents ?
