HP Insight Control for Linux 6.0 Installation Guide

release. A PSP contains essential operating specific optimized drivers, utilities, and management
agents that are required for ProLiant hardware platforms.
NOTE: You can skip the PSP installation step in the following circumstances:
• When the CMS is an HP ProLiant DL100 series server (such as the DL160, DL165, DL180,
and DL185). PSPs are not available for those hardware models.
• When you are installing Insight Control for Linux in a virtual machine guest.
See the HP Insight Control for Linux Support Matrix for the PSP version that has been tested and
qualified for this release.
IMPORTANT:
The supported PSP version for this release contains the compat-libstdc++-296 RPM which
provides the libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 library required by hpvmm. If the CMS is installed
with a SLES 11 OS, you must install the PSP on the CMS before installing Insight Control for
Linux to satisfy this dependency.
If you do not install the PSP, you will see a dependency error during the Insight Control for
Linux installation.
Minimum PSP components to install
You can install the entire contents of the PSP, but at a minimum you must install the following
components:
• HP System Health Application
• HP System Insight Management Agents
• HP ProLiant Channel Interface Device Driver for iLO/iLO2
NOTE: The associated RPM names for these components are hp-health, hp-snmp-agents,
and hp-ilo, respectively.
Use the instructions in Section 10.3.2 (page 69) if you need to download a PSP and its
accompanying user guide.
3.4.1.6 Unset proxy environment variables
Before you begin the Insight Control for Linux installation process, ensure that no *_proxy
environmental variables are defined. They cause the installer to hang at "Starting Systems Insight
Manager" during the installation process.
You can define proxy settings in either the /etc/wgetrc file or via an environment variable,
so ensure that no proxy variables are set in either location.
3.4.2 CMS configuration requirements
Verify that the CMS meets the configuration requirements for Systems Insight Manager and
Insight Control for Linux described in this section. If the CMS configuration does not meet a
requirement, complete the configuration task or tasks now.
3.4.2.1 Configure a network interface
Before installing Insight Control for Linux, you must configure a network interface on the CMS
for communication with the managed systems. During the Insight Control for Linux installation
process, services and applications are configured using the management network interface, thus
it must be configured before you run the Insight Control for Linux installation script.
For more information about configuring network interfaces, see the vendor-supplied OS
documentation.
