Great that it works for you. Really.

On my Product Name: ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus with current PVE "hp-health" is just not installable because of those unsolved dependencies.

I just wanted to post a reference to some other guys having the exact same problem: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T300438 - perhaps they find a solution...

Edit/added: pre-installing some libs and forcing installation leads to:

Code:

~# hpasmcli -s "show fan"

ERROR: Failed to get SMBIOS system ID.
This does not seem to be the HP Proliant Server that you are looking for.
ERROR: hpasmcli only runs on HPE Proliant Servers.

Hi,

So, if I understand, these are the steps to take.

# Add hp Public keys
https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpPublicKey2048.pub
https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpPublicKey2048_key1.pub
https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpePublicKey2048_key1.pub

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

# Install all packages
ssa ssacli ssaducli storcli amsd

The keys seem to be deprecated.

# wget -q -O - https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpPublicKey2048.pub | apt-key add -
Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

I just tested on my gen8's and I had forgot that amsd is for gen10 only. One need to install hp-ams instead. I tested it now and it works nicely.

So the steps would then be to do something like this:

You could probably just download the deb and install but if there are dependencies do follow through. There's a bunch of other "nice to have" tools installable from HPEs repo.

Install gnupg (most probably already installed)

Code:

apt-get update && apt-get install gnupg

Install the key. Regarding the deprecated bits you mentioned. It's not the keys that are deprecated it's the tool apt-key itself. You should start getting used to a different way now since that tool won't be around in the next Debian. Dunno in what Ubuntu version it will be gone permanently.

Install the needed key using gpg:

Code:

wget -O- https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpePublicKey2048_key1.pub | gpg --dearmor > /usr/share/keyrings/hpePublicKey2048-archive-keyring.gpg

The --dearmor bit is used since these keys are using ascii armor. You can check that with file command. If the output has something with "(old)" in it it's ascii armored. It's good practice to suffix the archive keyrings with "archive-keyring".

Now create an apt source file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Code:

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hpePublicKey2048-archive-keyring.gpg] http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp bullseye/current non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hpe.list

Note the "signed-by" part that now points to the public key we just downloaded. Note that this is Proxmox 7 which is bullseye. If on 6 it's buster i think? Correct me if i'm wrong. But anyways, modify to your needs.

Now install what you need, I always grab these, skip if not needed

But at least do an apt-get update.

Code:

apt-get update && apt-get install ssa ssacli ssaducli storcli

And here's Agentless Management Service for gen9 and below

Code:

cd
wget https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp/debian/pool/non-free/hp-ams_2.6.2-2551.13_amd64.deb
dpkg -i hp-ams_2.6.2-2551.13_amd64.deb

Remove deb when it's installed if you don't want to keep it

Rich (BB code):

rm hp-ams_2.6.2-2551.13_amd64.deb

Gen10 and above

Code:

apt-get install amsd

Now watch as your Agentless Management Service indicator goes green

Hurray...

Cheers
Marcus

@agnon, dead on, worked just as oyu said. Thanks so much for your input on this.

BTW, mine are HP G8 sl230s blades. However, on mine, I don't seem to get info.
What I really wanted is to monitor things like power usage.

# ssacli
Smart Storage Administrator CLI 5.20.8.0
Detecting Controllers...Done.
Type "help" for a list of supported commands.
Type "exit" to close the console.

For some reason, all worked except one blade which always shows Not available.
I've restarted the ilo but not sure if there are some services with the above so have to start.

I just have to start reading up on this, thanks again.

Great! Thank you - it works now for my Micro/Gen10 - everything's green. (Though hpasmcli -s "show fan" is not available.)

The multiple references to "hp-health" in several other posts led me into confusion...

Best regards

All of these things I just installed seem to be related only to disk information. I'm also looking for things like knowing how much power the server is using for example.

Maybe something didn't get installed right. I went back and looked at the history on my screen and noticed the following.

You installed amsd. That's only for Gen10. But looking at your previous posts you had G8's right? So you should have skipped that step and installed the hp-ams which is for Gen9 and earlier.

But one quick and easy thing to do since the hp-health package isn't well updated. Use IPMI. If you want something CLI related. Otherwise i'd use something like SNMP. Since the ILO4 supports that. You could for instance install prometheus snmp-exporter on a node and scrape all your servers and then create awesome graphs in grafana and once the data is in prometheus you can manage your alerts.

But as far as ipmi goes here's an example (make sure ipmi is activated in access settings):

1. create a user (for instance ipmi, but this is optional, you could go with any user already present

), i've only gotten this to work if i select all privileges so set a difficult password
2. install ipmitool on any node that has access to your ilo over the network.
apt-get install ipmitool
3. run:
ipmitool -H address_to_ilo -I lanplus -U username_you_chose -P super_difficult_password -p 6623 sensor list
note I run ipmi on 6623 which isn't the default, therefore i specify -p
This will give you something like:

with that data you could write some bash script or python script to do whatever. It's not superfast to use ipmi so maybe not poll every second

That is some amazing information Marcus. Thank you so much.

I'll file this away and give it a try as soon as I get some time.
One thing that might be useful is knowing how to uninstall all this as well.
I'm guessing others looking will find this, not read to the end and install a bunch of things they may or may not have wanted.

Yes, I thought I read that it works on Gen8's as well.
I guess I don't really need all that stuff since all I really wanted to monitor was fans/power supplies of the hardware.
Proxmox seems to do a good job of showing potential problems and iLO also sends notices.

chipbreak · Jun 8, 2022

ive done some research and have figured out a partial solution for why you get apt-get install hp-ams. (HPE proliant g8)

you need to use dist/project_ver = stretch/10.62
i got this info right from the hp repository site https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/project/mcp/

NOTICE: The health/snmp functionality was moved to the iLO card on HPE ProLiant Gen10 servers. The hp-health, hp-snmp-agents, hp-smh* and hp-ams debs are only to be installed on Gen9 servers and earlier. Gen10 users, please subscribe to "11.xx" or "current" repositories. Gen9 users, please use "10.xx" or earlier.

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hpePublicKey2048-archive-keyring.gpg] http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp stretch/10.62 non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hpe.list

to test use:
apt-cache search hp-ams

the system to should return:
hp-ams - Agentless Management Service for HP ProLiant servers with iLO4

go ahead and install the package:
apt-get install hp-ams

check version: apt list hp-ams should return: hp-ams/stretch,now 2.6.2-2551.13 amd64 [installed]

now where i get hung up on is trying to install the hp-snmp-agents & hp-health.
the system returns:


The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 hp-health : Depends: libc6-i686 but it is not installable or
                      lib32gcc1 but it is not installable

I've tried installing the dependency's: libc6-i686 is not available, lib32gcc1=However the following packages replace it: lib32gcc-s1
so installed the lib32gcc-s1 dependency.

tried installing the hp-health package again, same result:


The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 hp-health : Depends: libc6-i686 but it is not installable or
                      lib32gcc1 but it is not installable

any idea would be helpful.

Proximate · Jun 23, 2022

Seems like you got further along than I did. I didn't pursue this any further since these are production servers and I decided that the monitoring was not worth breaking a host. I'll try to get back to this next time I fire up a non production blade. Maybe I can add to it at that point.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience so far.

Hello,

For the unmet dependency with hp-health on Gen8 I found a workaround :

https://unix.stackexchange.com/ques...unfulfilled-dependencies-of-installed-package

Code:

apt install equivs

equivs-control lib32gcc1.control
sed -i 's/<package name; defaults to equivs-dummy>/lib32gcc1/g' lib32gcc1.control
equivs-build lib32gcc1.control
dpkg -i lib32gcc1_1.0_all.deb

equivs-control libc6-i686.control
sed -i 's/<package name; defaults to equivs-dummy>/libc6-i686/g' libc6-i686.control
equivs-build libc6-i686.control
dpkg -i libc6-i686_1.0_all.deb

It will create/install dummy packages and dependenties will be met.

Code:

/tmp# dpkg -i hp-health_10.80-1874.10_amd64.deb
Selecting previously unselected package hp-health.

I just tested on my gen8's and I had forgot that amsd is for gen10 only. One need to install hp-ams instead. I tested it now and it works nicely.

So the steps would then be to do something like this:

You could probably just download the deb and install but if there are dependencies do follow through. There's a bunch of other "nice to have" tools installable from HPEs repo.

Install gnupg (most probably already installed)

Code:

apt-get update && apt-get install gnupg

Install the key. Regarding the deprecated bits you mentioned. It's not the keys that are deprecated it's the tool apt-key itself. You should start getting used to a different way now since that tool won't be around in the next Debian. Dunno in what Ubuntu version it will be gone permanently.

Install the needed key using gpg:

Code:

wget -O- https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/hpePublicKey2048_key1.pub | gpg --dearmor > /usr/share/keyrings/hpePublicKey2048-archive-keyring.gpg

The --dearmor bit is used since these keys are using ascii armor. You can check that with file command. If the output has something with "(old)" in it it's ascii armored. It's good practice to suffix the archive keyrings with "archive-keyring".

Now create an apt source file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Code:

echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hpePublicKey2048-archive-keyring.gpg] http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp bullseye/current non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hpe.list

Note the "signed-by" part that now points to the public key we just downloaded. Note that this is Proxmox 7 which is bullseye. If on 6 it's buster i think? Correct me if i'm wrong. But anyways, modify to your needs.

Now install what you need, I always grab these, skip if not needed But at least do an apt-get update.

Code:

apt-get update && apt-get install ssa ssacli ssaducli storcli

And here's Agentless Management Service for gen9 and below

Code:

cd wget https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp/debian/pool/non-free/hp-ams_2.6.2-2551.13_amd64.deb dpkg -i hp-ams_2.6.2-2551.13_amd64.deb

Remove deb when it's installed if you don't want to keep it

Rich (BB code):

rm hp-ams_2.6.2-2551.13_amd64.deb

Gen10 and above

Code:

apt-get install amsd

Now watch as your Agentless Management Service indicator goes green

Hurray...

This worked perfectly for me.

The only question I have now is, how the hell do I use the AMS?

Proximate · Sep 27, 2022

There are so many ways posted in this thread that it's really not clear what works, what doesn't, what is actually needed, what is not.
The problem is that those who find this will install based on one post to find that the next says don't do that or they have installed a bunch of stuff they didn't need. They will end up with a mess or potentially conflicting packages and information.

Lots of great input but no real final post showing here's exactly how it's done for gen8, gen10.
I wish someone from HPE would take the time to pull all this together and help those of us who are still running older hardware.

Personally what’s described in post #31 worked for my dl20 gen10.
Fans are still loud when increasing the rounds but now most of the time they idle at 6-7%

ITOI · Oct 5, 2022

Post #31 also works for a DL380 Gen10, Proxmox 7.2-11
I installed the raid manager:
apt install ssa ssacli ssaducli storcli

Agentless Management Service is green on iLo and I can view/manage my raid volumes

Great writeup, got everything working (ML310e G8 v2) in 2 minutes thanks to these instructions. Thank you very much!

ilbarone87 · Dec 31, 2022

Has anyone by any chance upgraded to 7.3 from 7.2 and can confirm that ASM still reports after the update and the fans are not spinning mad?
