Description: 
This RPM is used to provide server management capabilities for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 (AMD64/EM64T) installed on supported server systems.

Enhancement:
Fixed segmentation fault that could occur on the DL585 running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 Update 3 (AMD64/EM64T), reduce the time necessary for initialization of the HP Server Management Application and Agents, reduce CPU utilization on systems with memory size greater than 4GB, and the 64-bit cmaX extension can now be loaded dynamically into the native RedHat stack.

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

 
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

if you have a version older than 6.2 then use:

rpm -q cpqhealth

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 cmastor 
rpm –e hprsm 
rpm –e hpasm

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

For Net-SNMP click here 

If you have a version older than 6.2 then use: 

rpm -e cmanic 
rpm -e cmastor 
rpm -e cmasvr 
rpm -e cmafdtn 
rpm -e cpqrid 
rpm -e cpqhealth

To install the package, type:

rpm -ivh hpasm-7.1.1b-95.rhel3.x86_64.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 
cmawebd 
cmathreshd 
cmahostd 
cmapeerd 
cmastdeqd 
cmahealthd 
cmaperfd

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. For Red Hat Linux Enterprise Server 3.0, the HP provided SNMP stack is required for the management agents to be enabled. This component is available xhere: http://www.compaq.com/support/files/server/us/download/21104.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 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.
