Has anyone installed Proxmox Ver 8.x on an HPE Gen11 server. I have it installed but I can not get the HPE AMS (Agentless Management Service) installed so the fans are screaming at 90%. I tried following the steps provided by HPE support, but I cant even get a version from the Proxmox CLI, need this information to download the correct repository. Any help is appreciated.

Bash: 
wget -O - https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mcp/GPG-KEY-mcp |  gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/hpe-mcp-archive-keyring.gpg

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


then run "apt update && apt install amsd " .

It is working fine by my side.

then run "apt update && apt install asmd " .

After I run the wget it prompts me to enter a file name no matter what i enter as the file name it still gives me the "E: Unable to locate package asmd" error after running the apt install command.

I am getting close to making the same choice, I was really ready to try proxmox in production but its not looking good. I do have a support ticket open with HP hoping they can tell me something

Yes , it finally worked and fans running like about 17% idle may up every now and again but nothing nobody will notice… the fix for me was at had to get a hp 10 network card instead of the intel one I was using smh on HP. But make sure you have all genuine hp parts and you should be good….

I fixed the problem but have no idea what fixed it. I had installed windows server then installed all available bios,drivers and software. That fixed it for windows server bringing me to 6% on stock fans. Ive now installed proxmox with no additional hpe software and they are still in the single digits where before they were pegged at above 60%. dont know if this helps something in the prossess fixed it for me

Did you install windows server as a main system as proxmox is currently installed? do I understand it correctly ?

Sorry for the confusion. I installed windows server 2019 trial directly onto the drives and then updated the firmware, bios and any other download i could get off off the HPE driver download page till the fans worked as expected. I think the firmware and bios were the important ones though. After confirming the fans were working correctly on windows by restarting several times and running stress tests. I then wiped the drives and installed Proxmox onto the drives and it seems to be working but i have only been testing it for a few days since I got busy.
 
Also you cant have any non HPE branded drives or pcie devices or the fans will go crazy defaulting to a base speed out of caution. The only caveat is if the device or drive can connect back to HPE agent/drivers correctly but i gave up on getting that to work.

thanks for detailed answer! I will try do it the same way but tbh I’m not sure if it will help due to bios and ilo firmware is the newest one and I also installed the newest one SPP for this server.
About disc I’m using 4x iron wolf pro 16Tb and also pcie Qnap extender card where are 2x Samsung 980 pro. I spot when I disconnect qnap card fans are down by 5% to 35% duty. When I disconnect all hdd disc fun duty cycle is around 9%.
I’m really disappointed due to spent a lot of money for this device and it is not possible to have it working at home. Really would like to have find solution for this topic
