HP Agentless Management Service

agnon said:
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 :)

Thank you fine sir, managed to get it working on a gen 8 with bookworm twice now, got a g9 on the way so can test that out sometime soon.
Quick hint for anyone trying to do this on proxmox 8 instead of
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

Use this

Code: 
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/hpePublicKey2048-archive-keyring.gpg] http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp bookworm/current non-free" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hpe.list
 
Has anyone made any progress for HPE G9. The URLs above seem to have changed and I am having no luck.
