Description: 
This RPM is used to provide server management capabilities for SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (x86) installed on supported server systems.

Enhancements:  
- Fixed an issue that Smart Array agent (cmaidad) may keep sending invalid inquiry to Smart Array P600 SAS RAID controller.

- Resolved possible segmentation fault with agent daemon when specific data files were accessed.

- Added additional RPM naming conventions to specify Linux Distribution.  This allows automated placement of files for deployment tools (such as Red Hat Satellite Server) that attempt to put deliverables in the following format:  /var/satellite/NAME-VERSION-RELEASE. 
			
Notes 			
The HP Server Management Application and Agents contain the following drivers and agents: 

Advanced Server Management application (Health Driver) 
Integrated Management Log (IML) Viewer Application 
Foundation Agents 
Health agent (formerly in the Server Agents package) 
Standard equipment agent (formerly in the Server Agents package) 
Server peer agent (formerly in the Server Agents package) 
Storage agents

The Advanced Server Management (health) driver can be recompiled on a non-default (or errata) Linux Kernel. If you would like to install or create the RPM for a non-default kernel, you must also install the kernel sources for your compiled kernel. In addition, the development packages required for rebuilding a kernel need to be present.  
 
Installation  
Login as the system administrator (root), download the RPM to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. 

If a previous version of the Health Driver or Insight Management agents has been installed, they must be removed before this package can be installed. Any packages dependent on the Health Driver must also be removed. To check which version of the Health Driver (if any) is on the system, type:

rpm –q hpasm

The rpm -q command may also be used to check for the existence of dependent packages. There is no need to uninstall packages that are not present on the system. 

To remove the previous version and any packages dependent on it, type the following, in order: 

rpm –e cmanic 
rpm –e hprsm 
rpm –e hpasm 

NOTE: You should update your snmp agents prior to installing the hpasm package. 

To install the package, type: 

rpm -ivh hpasm-< version >.rpm

The application and agents will be installed immediately. The NIC Agents must be downloaded and installed separately. 

To check whether the package is loaded properly, type: 


/etc/init.d/hpasm status

You should see entries for the following: 

hpasmd – Health Application 
Status of Foundation Agents (cmafdtn): cmawebd cmathreshd cmahostd cmapeerd 
cmathreshd 
cmahostd 
cmapeerd 
Status of Server Agents (cmasvr): cmastdeqd cmahealthd cmaperfd 
cmastdeqd 
cmahealthd 
cmaperfd 
Status of Storage Agents (cmastor): cmaeventd cmaidad cmafcad cmaided cmascsid 
cmaeventd 
cmaidad 
cmafcad 
cmaided 
cmascsid (if server has a SCSI controller supported by agents)

If you attempt to install the RPM on an unsupported system, you will get an error message. The driver will not be operational and it is advisable to uninstall the driver at your earliest convenience. 

Running the health driver: 
Once installed, the health driver will be automatically loaded every time the server boots. Several /proc entries are available when the driver is running. 

Additional information and help is available by typing: 

man hpasm

Running the agents: 
The agents require an SNMP stack to be available. If SNMP support is not installed on the system, the agents will not load. The HP provided SNMP stack is required for the management agents to be enabled. This component is available here: http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/download/20702.html. If the agents are not loaded, the health driver will still function normally. 

Running the IML Viewer Application: 
The HP ProLiant Integrated Management Log (IML) Viewer is an application that runs in the X-Windows environment. Execute the following command to start the IML Viewer: 

cpqimlview

The HP ProLiant Integrated Management Log Viewer automatically displays the current entries of the Integrated Management Log. 

Additional information and help is available by typing: 

man cpqimlview

Previous versions of the health driver and agents are available on ftp.compaq.com. To ensure the latest technology and bug fixes, HP recommends the use of this package over previous versions of the driver and agents.
