Hello everybody,
Emmanuel Halbwachs a écrit :
These hpasm and a collection of other tools are supplied by HP only for supported distros (RH, SuSE, UL) in RPM format, tailored for these distros.
The only tip I found about that is http://www.sk-tech.net/support/HPrpm2deb.sh.html As I understand, it is a script that does alien to have a .deb and then does some adaptations.
Does anyone here running HP Proliant:
- tested the above script? - succeeded in adaptating the HP RPM stuff to woody?
So I tested this script and it worked ok for me on a ML350G3. More on this below.

I'm currently working on a website for that: www.debian-on-proliant.com Currently there is only a basic framework and a hardware-matrix online, but I hope to get some real content soon Comments, suggestions and especially contributions are welcome!
I appreciate the effort! I think two links has to appear as they were the key for me:

Make the site a Wiki, or at least add a wiki section. Lowers the barrier to contribution a great deal.
I agree and I certainly am willing to contribute.
More détails on the installation.
This script installs:
- hpasm-7.0.0-21.rhel21.i386.rpm - cmastor-7.0.0-16.linux.i386.rpm - cpqacuxe-7.0-1.linux.i386.rpm
(note that the latest version on HP/Compaq website is 7.1.1)
The hpasm (HP Advanced Server Management, I guess) packet gives:
- two kernel driver modules which control the server's supervision ASIC:
- cpqasm
- cpqevt- these modules create some entries in /proc: - cpqfan - cpqpci - cpqpwr - cpqtemp
- some tools in /sbin: - imlbe - hpuid - hplog - hpimlview - cpqimlview (there is manpages for them)
The cmastor (Compaq MAnagement STORage, I guess) packet brings some daemons:
radar:~# /etc/init.d/cmastor start Starting Storage Agents (cmastor): All agents Starting Storage peer (cmastorpeerd): Starting Storage Event Logger (cmaeventd): Starting IDA agent (cmaidad): Starting FCA agent (cmafcad): Starting IDE agent (cmaided): Starting SCSI agent (cmascsid):
With cmastor, I have now log entries in hplog -v when I unplug a hard drive.
The cpqacuxe (ComPaQ Array Configuration Utility XE ?? I guess) packet provide the create/modify tool for RAID arrays. It is a http(s) web server, same as the one on the "SmartStart" CD that comes with the machine.
For the moment, I test with a backported 2.4.26 kernel from http://www.backports.org (kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686-smp). In order to get the above script to work, I had to install the according kernel-headers-2.4.26-1-686-smp.
Cheers,
