Hello!
If you want to just manage raid with G7 and Debian (and PVE), look at this site.
http://hwraid.le-vert.net/
And install hpacucli (depending of the raid card).
This work very fine and don't need all the complicated hspa stuff from HP.
I have used hpacucli without issues but the the problem persists with snmp.
You can monitor the state off the logical and physical drives but that was not working.
I have an update on this one.
I could not get the snmp stuf working after a fresh install even with the updated hpsa driver.
So after looking around in my old installation i saw i had manully overwritten the snmp agents with the versions from the redhat rpm which has an update to version 9.
So i used alien to convert the rpm to deb and installed that one over the existing proliant support pack, and suddenly it started to work.
Now i have reverted back to the stable version from the kernel and all works well.
So the problem is definately in the proliant support pack.
for anyone who wants to use snmp for monitoring the raid array with the hpsa driver should use alien to convert the redhat rpm package hp-snmp-agents version 9 and install the converted one.
i have uploaded the converted package to: http://cobradevil.org/downloads/hp-snmp-agents_9.0.0.48-50_amd64.deb
Regards,
William
