HP Insight Control for Linux 6.2 Release Notes

2.3.2 Warning message: This system is already enabled
This message occurs when you try to apply a license to a system that is already enabled for the
product.
Corrective action: Deselect the system.
2.4 Discovery
This section contains notes about discovery.
2.4.1 Servers with NetXen gPXE NIC require DHCP modifications
A server with a NetXen gPXE 4.0.230 NIC will not accept an IP address from a Linux-based
dhcpd server, which causes problems with the discovery process.
Corrective action: Add the following lines to the /etc/dhcpd.conf file on the dhcpd server:
# gpxe options
option space gpxe;
option gpxe.no-pxedhcp code 176 = unsigned integer 8;
option gpxe-encap-opts code 175 = encapsulate gpxe;
option gpxe.priority code 1 = signed integer 8;
option gpxe.priority 1;

2.4.2 Bare metal discovery complains there is no DOS partition on the disk
During a bare-metal discovery on a new system with new disks, when the RAM disk loaded
onto the system, it reported that there was no valid DOS partition on the disk and subsequently
failed to complete the discovery process.
Corrective action: Remove the disk or disks temporarily and rerun the bare-metal discovery,
then replace the disks.
2.5 Automatic firmware update note
This section contains a note with automatic firmware updates.
2.5.1 Benign font error message during firmware update
The following error message appears in the log of the firmware update:
Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
This message can be safely ignored.
2.6 Management and monitoring notes
This section contains notes that apply to Insight Control for Linux management and monitoring
features.
2.6.1 Metrics for HP ProLiant DL100 series servers might not be individually reported
Some HP ProLiant DL100 series servers temperature and fan sensor metrics are not individually
reported by default. Instead, they are tallied in the "Sensor Count" metric. The temperature and
fan sensor metrics are monitored correctly and are individually reported if they exceed the
warning or critical thresholds.
Corrective action: To archive metrics on an individual basis, follow the procedure in the HP
Insight Control for Linux User Guide to modify the /opt/hptc/nagios/etc/nagios_vars.ini
file.
