HP Agentless Management Service

Globul · Aug 9, 2020

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

The Debian version works as Proxmox is Debian based.

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.

why do you add Stretch? Proxmox VE 6.x is based on Debian Buster.

See post #4 above.

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

Wonder though, why it reports:

What does this Agentless Management Service actually do?

easy2see · Feb 21, 2021

Hi Whitterquick, sorry for my late answer.
Basically you can monitor the server on iLO level without having monitoring sw running on the servers operating system.

Hello,

hp-health : Depends: libc6-i686 but it is not installable or
lib32gcc1 but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

How can i solve this problem?

my server is a hp 380p gen8

Jon Jaroker · Feb 24, 2022

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

Whitterquick · Feb 24, 2022

What exactly does this Agentless Management Service do?

Whitterquick · Feb 24, 2022

Sorry I asked this before and got an answer. I also had it installed too lol

martos · Mar 4, 2022

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 :

root@pve-dev:~# hpasmcli -s "show fan"

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

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.
