[1467] | 1 | README for mondo/mindi usage with tools to backup Hardware configuration
|
---|
| 2 |
|
---|
| 3 | Some Hardware Manufacturers such as HP provide tools to store the Hardware configuration of their systems, such as the BIOS setup, the RAID setup, ...
|
---|
| 4 |
|
---|
| 5 | Mindi has a script able to store the Hardware configuration and those parameters may be restored before launching mondorestore during the boot phase computed by mindi, in order to re-setup the machine as the original one.
|
---|
| 6 |
|
---|
| 7 | For the moment, only HP Proliant systems are supported. If you have tools to allow support for other type of machines, feel free to contribute patches to that script.
|
---|
| 8 |
|
---|
| 9 | If you have a Proliant system you first need to get the Smart Start Scripting Toolkit. Due to licenses issues, mindi cannot provide those tools itself. You need to get them from http://www.hp.com/servers/sstoolkit
|
---|
| 10 |
|
---|
| 11 | Mindi expects to find those tools under /usr/local/bin as described in the deplist.d/proliant.conf configuration file. Here are the steps to set it up correctly:
|
---|
| 12 |
|
---|
| 13 | cd /tmp
|
---|
| 14 | wget ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softlib2/software1/pubsw-linux/p308169895/v40154/ss-scripting-toolkit-linux-1.70.tar.gz
|
---|
| 15 | mkdir ssstk
|
---|
| 16 | cd ssstk
|
---|
| 17 | tar xvfz ../ss-scripting-toolkit-linux-1.70.tar.gz
|
---|
| 18 | cp -a utilities/hponcfg /usr/local/bin
|
---|
| 19 | cp -a utilities/conrep /usr/local/bin
|
---|
| 20 | cp -a utilities/conrep.xml /usr/local/bin
|
---|
| 21 | cp -a utilities/cpqacuxe/cpqacuxe /usr/local/bin
|
---|
| 22 | cp -a utilities/cpqacuxe/bld /usr/local/bin
|
---|
| 23 | mv /usr/local/bin/bld/*.so /usr/local/lib
|
---|
| 24 | echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf
|
---|
| 25 | ldconfig
|
---|
| 26 | perl -pi -e 's~^HOME=.*~HOME="/usr/local/bin"~' /usr/local/bin/cpqacuxe
|
---|
[1469] | 27 | sed -i -e '/LD_LIBRARY_PATH/d' /usr/local/bin/cpqacuxe
|
---|
[1467] | 28 |
|
---|
[1469] | 29 | You also may have to remove the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL line in that script.
|
---|
| 30 |
|
---|
[1467] | 31 | You're now ready to check your configuration by running mindi-bkphw.
|
---|

|
---|
[1467] | 33 | In order to have a working hponcfg binary you also need to install the hprsm/hpasm packages from HP Web site. Refer to http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html?pageDisplay=drivers
