dev/hpilo not present

[damade]

Hi all,

Can someone help with this.

Server -> HP proliant DL380

OS -> RHEL 4

ILO card is working. But password is LOST.

I wanted  to reset it using the hponcfg utility.

-------

#hponcfg
HPONCFG RILOE II/iLO setup and configuration utility
Version 2.2 (c) Hewlett-Packard Company, 2009
 
ERROR:  Could not find the iLO/RILOE-II Device Node.
        Please check if the iLO driver module is installed and running properly.
        ACTION REQUIRED: Install/Re-install hp Lights-Out driver package('hp-ilo' RPM) for iLO.

-----

I re-install the hp-ilo rpm... but error persists.

lspci shows the ilo card

01:04.0 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation Integrated Lights Out Controller (rev 01)
01:04.2 System peripheral: Compaq Computer Corporation Integrated Lights Out  Processor (rev 01)

but

/dev/hpilo does not exist.

and a strace to hponcfg shows

open("/dev/hpilo/d0ccb0", O_RDWR|O_EXCL) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Which could be the problem ?  What can i do ?

after installng the .RPM, did you start the iLO channel driver?

/etc/init.d/hp-ilo status

if it's not running then;

/etc/init.d/hp-ilo start

[damade]

#/etc/init.d/hp-ilo status
Status of hp-ilo:
  hpilo driver is NOT loaded...


#/etc/init.d/hp-ilo start
  Starting hp-ilo: [FAILED]
  Check installed kernel failed

[Jimmy Vance]

What version of RHEL4? what is the current kenel version?

What version of hpilo rpm did you instal?

[damade]

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 4)
2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp i386 GNU/Linux
hp-ilo-8.4.0-106.rhel4

hponcfg-2.2.0-5

[Jimmy Vance]

you might try this version, the instal notes state it should rebuild itself to work on the current kernel
