Installing HPONCFG
The HPONCFG utility is delivered in separate packages for Windows® and Linux systems. For
Windows® systems, it is delivered as a smart component. For Linux systems, it is delivered as an RPM
package file. HPONCFG 1.1 is part of SmartStart 7.30.
Windows server installation
HPONCFG will be installed automatically when ProLiant support pack version 7.30 is installed. The
individual HPONCFG 1.1 component cp005299.exe can be downloaded from the HP website
(http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/lights-out/us/download/22571.html
).
To install HPONCFG, run the self-extracting executable delivered in this package from within a directory
of your choice on the managed server. This will be the directory from which the HPONCFG utility is
executed. This directory will also contain the XML formatted input scripts, and will store the output files
from execution of the utility. Be sure that the appropriate Management Interface Driver is installed. The
sm2user.dll file must also be installed. Refer to the "HPONCFG requirements (on page 133)" for details
on where to obtain this driver and file.
Linux server installation
HPONCFG will be installed automatically when ProLiant support pack version 7.30 is installed. The rpm
of HPONCFG 1.1 for the respective Linux distributions can be downloaded from the HP website
(http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/lights-out/us/
).
The following is a list of HPONCFG RPMs and the Linux distributions they support:
RPM supported Distributions
hponcfg-1.1.0-
5.rhel21.i386.rpm
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1
hponcfg-1.1.0-
5.rhel3.i386.rpm
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0
hponcfg-1.1.0-
5.sles8.i386.rpm
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 / United Linux 1.0
Install the appropriate package using the RPM installation utility. As an example for package installation,
hponcfg RPM on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 can be installed by:
rpm -ivh hponcfg-1.1.0-5.rhel3.i386.rpm
If an older version of hponcfg RPM package is already installed on the system, run the following
command to remove the older version before installing the new version of HPONCFG:
rpm –e hponcfg
The hprsm RPM package must be installed on the system before installing the hponcfg RPM package.
After installation, the HPONCFG executable can be found in the /sbin directory. Be sure that the
appropriate Management Interface Driver is installed. Refer to the "HPONCFG requirements (on page
133)" for details on where to obtain this driver and file.
Using HPONCFG
The HPONCFG configuration utility reads an XML input file, formatted according to the rules of the RIBCL
language, and produces a log file containing the requested output. A few sample scripts are included in
the HPONCFG delivery package. A package containing various and comprehensive sample scripts is
available for download on the HP website (http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/lights-
out/us/download/20110.html).
