Hi,

Does anyone have installed HP Agentless Management Service ?

My server is an HP DL380p Gen8, with Proxmox 6.2-10 (Debian Buster 10.5).
I can't find the good packages for this configuration. Only for Debian 9 or for Debian 10 but for Gen 9 / Gen10
 
Could anyone provide a step-by-step to get this installed please? I keep getting the 'couldn't find package' error when running the final command.

Steps undertaken:

1. Subscribe to mcp repository:
- nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pve-enterprise.list
- Added: deb http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp stretch/current non-free

2. Enroll the HPE public keys :
- curl https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpPublicKey2048.pub | apt-key add -
- curl https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpPublicKey2048_key1.pub | apt-key add -
- curl https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpePublicKey2048_key1.pub | apt-key add -

3. Install package:
- apt-get update
- apt-get install hp-ams_2.6.2-2551.13_amd64.deb

I'm sure it's something ridiculously simple however any help gratefully received.

I followed the steps, but when applying apt install hp-ams I got:

Any hint, in which direction I need to check, would be very welcome. :)

Wonder though, why it reports:

Following https://wiki.debian.org/HP/ProLiant#HP_Repository
1. point apt directly at the repo with this line in /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp jessie/current non-free
2. adding also curl http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpPublicKey1024.pub | apt-key add -
(which was not mentioned in PeteProx 2. Enroll the HPE public keys :)
did the trick for me. :)

Can anyone confirm whether they have successfully installed HP's agentless management service in Proxmox version 7.1?

I am testing Proxmox version 7.1-10 on an HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 with firmware:

* iLO 2.79 Nov 16 2021
* Smart Array P420i controller 8.32
* System ROM P70 05/24/2019
 
I have the same trouble in Proxmox 7.1 ....
i find solution :
apt-get install pciutils wmtemp lm-sensors

(HPE Agentless Management Service)
wget http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/...on-free/hp-ams_2.8.3-3056.1ubuntu16_amd64.deb
dpkg --install hp-ams_2.8.3-3056.1ubuntu16_amd64.deb

(hp health)
wget http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp/debian/pool/non-free/hp-health_10.80-1874.10_amd64.deb
dpkg --force-all --install hp-health_10.80-1874.10_amd64.deb

(snmp hp)
wget http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/...n-free/hp-snmp-agents_10.60-2953.16_amd64.deb
dpkg --install hp-snmp-agents_10.60-2953.16_amd64.deb


it's not the better , but it's works :

I need to install this also but before I go through the steps, can anyone confirm that the last post before mine is the correct procedure or kind of a patchy way of doing it? I cannot find an approved method anywhere but found this thread.
 
On all our proxmox instances I use this ansible script for all our servers (mostly DL360/DL380 Gen10):

Just reproduce the steps needed for the CLI...

YAML:
---
- name: Install packages
  apt:
    name: ['gnupg', 'lsb-release']
    state: present

# To be able to use facts like under ['lsb']
- name: Collect facts after package install
  setup:
    gather_subset:
      - 'all'

- name: Add hp Public key
  apt_key:
    url: https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpPublicKey2048.pub
    state: present

- name: Add hp Public key_1
  apt_key:
    url: https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpPublicKey2048_key1.pub
    state: present

- name: Add hpe Public key
  apt_key:
    url: https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpePublicKey2048_key1.pub
    state: present

- name: Add HPE repo
  apt_repository:
    repo: deb http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp {{ ansible_facts['lsb']['codename'] }}/current non-free
    state: present


- name: Install all packages
  apt:
    name: ['ssa', 'ssacli', 'ssaducli', 'storcli', 'amsd']
    state: present
    update_cache: yes

This has always worked for me. Except when HPE just released their bullseye repos with ubuntu tags, they changed that not long ago. The last time I did this on a fresh proxmox install was the last week. Worked like a charm.

EDIT: Just realized the question was for Gen8. But I run Gen8s at home and do believe that I used the same method there without any problems at all. They are however upgraded with latest service pack and the latest ILO with the HTML5 console and all that good stuff. If that has anything to do with it...

Best regards
Marcus
