Reference documents

When dealing with the installation and configuration of HP ProLiant servers, the firstapproach is to look at some reference documents:

The main Documentation for the SDR at http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/. Thepresentation around HP ProLiant value add tools contains some command line examples. Acopy is available at http://fr.slideshare.net/eurolinux/hp-proliant-value-add-tools.

Estimated time for the lab is placed in front of each part.

Environment setup

Estimated time: 10 minutes

SDR access enablement

The HP SDR is available externally from http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/

This Lab is performed on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 distribution. As most of thecontent is also available from the repository for other Linux distributions, you can run it aswell (with due adaptations !) on all the enabled distributions such as CentOS, OEL, Ubuntuor supported like SuSE Linux Enterprise Server.

You may want to use the add_repo.sh script provided there in order to setup yourinstallation. For that, download the file under your home directory.

You'll also need for RHEL additional packages not necessarily installed on the basedistribution, but which are brought by yum, providing you have a link to a Satellite server ora yum repository with appropriate content.

This lab doesn't give all the commands necessary, as some aspects must be discovered bythe Lab attendees and this will help them learn more by finding themselves the solutionsto the small issues they may find. Could be lack of packages, Linux rights aspects, ...

Bug reports on this material welcome ;-) Enjoy !

Then use yum to update the indexes with the new repositories. Check what has beencreated under the /etc/yum.repos.d directory. Verify that everything is behaving asexpected (hint: yum search hp | grep -E '^hp').

If you have issues running the add_repo script, consider rights of the script and requireddependency (lsb package typically). If the previous command doesn't output something,launch it first without the | grep part..

From now on, the Lab is “à la carte” ;-) Which means you can take one of the following partat will and try to do it

Note that depending on the RHEL version or the tools versions, the traces you can get maydiffer in details such as version umber e.g.

Managing HP ProLiant servers with the MCP

Command line management


We will first discover what command lines utilities are available to manage HP ProLiantservers under Linux. These are gathered in a few packages:

Now is time to use some of these commands to get information on your ProLiant Server(Hardware logs, Blue Light), and also to modify its configuration:

# hplog -v | head

HP


HP TechTour 2015

This command is similar to hpasmcli -s "show iml" | head.

# hplog -a STATUSCurrent ASR Status is ENABLED and the timeout value is 10

# man hplog

ASR manipulation can also be achieved with the hpasmcli -s "show asr". Use the setoption to modify values

# hpuid -sOFF# hpuid -e# hpuid -sON# hpuid -d

# man hpuid

Similarly, UID manipulation can also be achieved with the hpasmcli -s "show uid".Use the set option to modify values

# hpasmcli -s "show ipl"

IPL (Standard Boot Order)-------------------------#0 CDROM#1 PXE#2 HDD

IPL however can't be modified by hpasmcli. Use for that the hpbootcfg command.

# hpbootcfg -H03 00: Harddrive first, normal boot process

# hpbootcfg -C02 00: CD ROM first, normal boot process

# hpbootcfg -P40 00: Normal Device first, one time boot to PXE

# hpbootcfg -D00 00: Normal Device first, normal boot process

# man hpbootcfg

You may want to verify the new configuration by rebooting the server. Another commandwill be detailed later on to modify fully the boot order from the SmartStart ScriptingToolkit.

# hpasmcli -s "show asr"

ASR timeout is 10 minutes.ASR is currently enabled.

# hpasmcli -s "disable asr"


HP


HP TechTour 2015

Successfully disabled ASR timer.

# hpasmcli -s "enable asr"

Successfully enabled ASR timer.

# man hpasmcli

We'll now interact with the Insight Lights Out component on the server with the hponcfgutiliy.

# hponcfg -gHP Lights-Out Online Configuration utilityVersion 4.4.0 Date 06/13/2014 (c) Hewlett-Packard Company, 2014Firmware Revision = 2.03 Device type = iLO 4 Driver name = hpiloHost Information: Server Name: host is unnamed Server Number:

<DHCP_ENABLE VALUE="Y"/>[...] <DNS_NAME VALUE="ILOCZ3223LAA2"/>[...]

Now we'll use the same command to modify the value of the DNS name of this iLO board,after we removed the account info which would create a problem.

# perl -pi -e \'s/DNS_NAME VALUE="ILOCZ3223LAA2"/DNS_NAME VALUE="MyPersonaliLO"/' \ /tmp/ilo.xml# grep DNS_NAME /tmp/ilo.xml <DNS_NAME VALUE="MyPersonaliLO"/># perl -pi -e 's/^.*user_password.*$//' /tmp/ilo.xml# perl -pi -e 's/^.*SSO_INFO.*//' /tmp/ilo.xml# hponcfg -f /tmp/ilo.xmlHP Lights-Out Online Configuration utility

Version 4.4.0 Date 06/13/2014 (c) Hewlett-Packard Company, 2014Firmware Revision = 2.03 Device type = iLO 4 Driver name = hpilo<INFORM>Integrated Lights-Out will reset at the end of the script.</INFORM>[...]

Please wait while the firmware is reset. This might take a minuteScript succeeded

Check by logging to your iLO that the new name is now in usage. Or use hponcfg again.

Another way to interact with the iLO is to use the locfg.pl perl script available from thepagehttp://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?spf_p.tpst=swdMain&spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3Didx%253D%257CswItem%253DMTX_e8dbfeb5c88c4689a2958de054%257CswEnvOID%253D%257CitemLocale%253D%257CswLang%253D%257Cmode%253D%257Caction%253DdriverDocument&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken and which allow remote modification of the iLOconfiguration, providing you have the appropriate credential, which the hponcfg commanddoesn't require as using the hpilo driver to dialog with the iLO board.

Finally from the command line, we will interact with the Smart Array Controller.

Look at the differences you get between the 2 configurations and make deductions aboutthe impact of stripe size on processing interrupts on your system. Change the parametersto see more differences and pay attention to cache effects.

SNMP management


We will now configure the SNMP stack and then install the client agent to query the snmpdserver.

# yum install hp-snmp-agents

[...]

# /sbin/hpsnmpconfig

You will now be asked a series of SNMP configuration questions. How you answer these question will affect the way SNMP behaves. Configuring SNMP could have security implications on your system. If you are not sure how

You can now explore the MIB to get values specific to HP ProLiant servers.

# snmpget -v 2c -c public localhost SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.2.2.13.1.1.7.1

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.2.2.13.1.1.7.1 = STRING: "BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure G3"

# snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232

[...]

You can continue to query the MIB for various values. For more information, look athttp://www.oidview.com/mibs/232/md-232-1.html in order to have a better idea of thevalue that you can query and check their result on your system.
