UPDATE:<\/b> site changed from hp.com to hpe.com. This still works for 14.04 and 16.04 ! Just change the precise<\/code> down there to trusty<\/code> or xenial<\/code><\/p>\n

We have some HP Proliant DL rack servers with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Knowing HP officially supports Ubuntu distributions we may install their management software to help with inventory and monitoring.<\/p>\n

What to Install<\/h2>\n

We need to add the HP Support Software repository to every system.<\/p>\n

Add the following line<\/p>\n

\r\ndeb http:\/\/downloads.linux.hpe.com\/SDR\/downloads\/MCP\/ubuntu precise current\/non-free\r\n<\/pre>\n
to a new file under aptitude sources directory<\/p>\n
\r\n$ sudo vi \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/hp-proliant-support-pack.list\r\n<\/pre>\n
Please do a sudo apt-get update<\/code><\/p>\n
Then install all these packages.<\/p>\n
\r\n$ sudo apt-get install hpsmh hp-snmp-agents hp-smh-templates hponcfg hp-health hpacucli\r\n<\/pre>\n
Depending on what you already have installed apt<\/code> may install other packages or tell you some suggestions.<\/p>\n
\r\nReading package lists... Done\r\nBuilding dependency tree       \r\nReading state information... Done\r\nThe following extra packages will be installed:\r\n  binutils libperl5.14 libsensors4 libsnmp-base libsnmp15 libssl0.9.8 libxslt1.1 snmpd\r\n  xsltproc\r\nSuggested packages:\r\n  binutils-doc lm-sensors snmp-mibs-downloader\r\nThe following NEW packages will be installed:\r\n  binutils hp-health hp-smh-templates hp-snmp-agents hpacucli hponcfg hpsmh libperl5.14\r\n  libsensors4 libsnmp-base libsnmp15 libssl0.9.8 libxslt1.1 snmpd xsltproc\r\n0 upgraded, 15 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.\r\nNeed to get 33.3 MB of archives.\r\nAfter this operation, 106 MB of additional disk space will be used.\r\nDo you want to continue [Y\/n]? \r\nWARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!\r\n  hp-health hp-snmp-agents hpsmh hp-smh-templates hpacucli hponcfg\r\nInstall these packages without verification [y\/N]? \r\n<\/pre>\n
If you are using snmpd<\/code> you may like to read a previous note<\/a> from me.<\/p>\n
Final configurations<\/h2>\n
Along the installation of those packages you may have been warned:<\/p>\n
\r\nWARNING:hp-snmp-agents is not configured.\r\nYou must type '\/sbin\/hpsnmpconfig' as 'root' user to configure agents.\r\n<\/pre>\n
It’s time to run it now.<\/p>\n
Opening your browser with http:\/\/servername:2381\/<\/code> let’s you see the HP System Management Homepage<\/p>\n
Please edit \/opt\/hp\/hpsmh\/conf\/smhpd.xml<\/code> and restart hpsmhd<\/code> so you control whom can access.<\/p>\n
\r\n$ sudo service hpsmhd restart\r\n<\/pre>\n
Finally<\/h2>\n
Well, now browse through each package man pages to learn features and configuration tweaks. Don’t forget HP maintains a web presence<\/a> to Ubuntu support<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
