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: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 install the net-snmp agents from your OS prior to installing the hpasm package.
To install the package, type:rpm -ivh hpasm-< version >.rhel4.i386.rpm
The application and agents will be installed immediately. The NIC Agents must be downloaded and installed separately.

hpamsmd
cmathreshd
cmahostd
cmapeerd
cmastdeqd
cmahealthd
cmaperfd
cmaeventd

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:
Running the agents: The agents require the HP Server Management Drivers and Agents to be present. They also require a suitable SNMP stack to be available on the server. If SNMP support is not installed on the system, the agents will not load. For Red Hat Linux Enterprise Linux 4, we recommend using the latest version of net-snmp available from the Red Hat Network, or alternatively, the version of net-snmp bundled with your Red Hat install media.
In case of deploying a custom SNMP stack, the dlmod configuration option needs to be enabled for HP Management Agent integration. Certain components of this package, the Remote Insight Driver, the iLO Management Interface Driver and the Rack Infrastructure Information Service will function normally without SNMP support.
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:
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: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.
