HP Management Component Pack

#1 Post by madpanter »

Hi.

I am curently in process of configuring OMV on a HP gen8 microserver. As the server has ilo 4 advanced license and option to monitor the state of hard drives thru it i want to install HP Management Component Pack.

I added the source with this command:

Code: Select all

sudo echo "deb http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp buster/current non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mcp.list
then i enrolled HPE’s public keys with this command

Code: Select all

curl http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpPublicKey1024.pub | apt-key add -
curl http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpPublicKey2048.pub | apt-key add -
curl http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpPublicKey2048_key1.pub | apt-key add -
curl http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpePublicKey2048_key1.pub | apt-key add -
After that i did

Code: Select all

sudo apt update
and when i try to install the packages with this command

Code: Select all

sudo apt install hp-health hponcfg amsd ams ssacli ssaducli ssa
It says the packages can not be found.

Has anyone had better luck with installing hpe tools?

I have read everything here:

https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/project/mcp/

https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/keys.html

And i can see the packages here that i want to install:

https://downloads.linux.hpe.co…mcp/Debian/pool/non-free/

b.r.

(sorry for my bad english i hope it's understandable what im trying to do)

The repository link gives 404. Have a look in sources.list.d and see if there's actually anything there.

If not, try the manual method:

https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/project/mcp/

Repository link there gives me a repository listing.

Good day,

If you look closely at the HPE page it mentions that the 'distro/current' supports Gen 10 and for Gen 9 and earlier you have to use anything under version 11.
After reviewing the packages I found that these packages stopped being updated after the Debian bionic distro. Below are the lines I use in my sources.list file to correctly install the packages. Also note, I have found that the new Debian bullseye breaks some of these packages completely.

# HPE Management Component Pack
deb http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp bionic/10.80 non-free
# HPE Scripting Tool Kit
deb http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/stk buster/current non-free

Cheers,
Mike
