Objective
This article lists the packages that need to be installed on a HP ProLiant server running Linux.
Basic Requirements
Minimal installation of RedHat 6.
Installing IPMI is not required.
Packages
yum install pciutils.x86_64
yum install net-snmp.x86_64
rpm -ivh hp-health-9.31-1572.3.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh hp-snmp-agents-9.30-2412.33.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
/sbin/hpsnmpconfig
yum install net-snmp.x86_64
rpm -ivh hp-health-9.31-1572.3.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh hp-snmp-agents-9.30-2412.33.rhel6.x86_64.rpm
/sbin/hpsnmpconfig
The first one is required to install hp-health (hp-health’s installation will fail requesting pciutils).
The installation of the HP agents will not install the OpenIPMI package
