HP ProLiant DL 980 G7 Server System Errata

3. Change the attributes of the file /opt/hp/Announce_Agents.sh to be executable.
# chmod +x /opt/hp/Announce_Agents.sh
4. configure the system to start the hp-health services in the background:
# echo "@reboot root /etc/init.d/hp-snmp-agents start &&
/etc/init.d/hp-asrd start && /opt/hp/Announce_Agents.sh && logger
" IM Agents started" ">> /etc/cron.d/hp-health
This workaround will avoid the extended boot delay, but IM Agents functionality will not be available
until the background startup has completed. This will cause a delay in the availability of information
via SNMP, System Management Homepage, and command line utilities such has hplog and
hpasmcli.
The message "Insight Manager Agents have started" will appear on the System Console once the
agents have started.
NOTE: hp-health is started as part of starting hp-snmp-agents
NOTE: If the hp-health service is stopped (i.e., service hp-health stop), when the service is restarted
( service hp-health start), the extended delay will also be seen.
NOTE: Before the system is rebooted after the installation of the agents, the workaround will
need to be applied to avoid the extended delay on the return from the reboot.
Linux
On a ProLiant DL980 G7 server running Linux and version 8.5.0 of the HP Management Agents
for Linux, the server may appear to pause for more than five minutes during server boot, causing
an extended boot time. This occurs while the system is waiting for the hp-health drivers to initialize,
and the extended boot time may increase with the number of DIMMs installed in the system.
The server will resume boot after approximately five minutes. A future version of the hp-health driver
will prevent the extended boot time from occurring. As a workaround, move the startup of the
health daemon into the background as follows:
1. Disable the automatic start of the hp-health services:
1. chkconfig hp-health off
2. chkconfig hp-asrd off
3. chkconfig hp-snmp-agents off
2. Configure your system to start the hp-health services in the background by typing the following
command:
echo "@reboot root for service in hp-health hp-asrd hp-snmp-agents;
do /etc/init.d/$service start; done" >> /etc/cron.d/hp-health
This workaround will avoid the extended boot delay, but health functionality will not be available
until the background startup has completed. This will cause a delay in the availability of information
via SNMP, System Management Homepage, and command line utilities such has hplog and
hpasmcli.
