$Id$ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have a ProLiant system you first need to get the hp-scripting-tools, hponcfg and hpacucli packages. Due to licenses issues, mindi cannot provide those tools itself. You need to get them from http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/ProLiantSupportPack/ wget http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/ProLiantSupportPack/RedHat/6Server/x86_64/8.72/hpacucli-8.70-8.0.noarch.rpm yum install -y (or worst case rpm -Uvh) hpacucli-8.70-8.0.noarch.rpm (will install hpacuscripting under /usr/sbin) wget http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/ProLiantSupportPack/RedHat/6Server/x86_64/8.72/hponcfg-3.1.1-0.noarch.rpm yum install -y (or worst case rpm -Uvh) hponcfg-3.1.1-0.noarch.rpm (will install hponcfg under /usr/sbin) wget http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/ProLiantSupportPack/RedHat/6Server/i386/8.72/hp-scripting-tools-8.70-52.rhel6.i386.rpm yum install -y (or worst case rpm -Uvh) hp-scripting-tools-8.70-52.rhel6.i386.rpm (will install hp-conrep under /sbin) You're now ready to check your configuration by running: mindi-bkphw /var/cache/mindi /etc/mindi [First parameter is the directory where files will be generated, Second parameter is the configuration directory of the file deplist.d/ProLiant.conf is located] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some of these tools are also provided as part of the Smart Start Scripting Toolkit. You can get it from http://www.hp.com/servers/sstoolkit and use the following: cd /tmp wget ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/pubsw-linux/p1221080004/v63551/ss-scripting-toolkit-linux-8.70.tar.gz mkdir ssstk cd ssstk tar xvfz ../ss-scripting-toolkit-linux-8.70.tar.gz cp -a utilities/conrep /usr/sbin cp -a utilities/conrep.xml /usr/share/conrep/conrep.xml cp -a utilities/hponcfg /usr/sbin cp -a utilities/hpacucli/hpacuscripting /usr/sbin cp -a utilities/hpacucli/.hpacuscripting /usr/sbin # For versions <= 1.90 cp -a utilities/cpqacuxe/cpqacuxe /usr/local/bin cp -a utilities/cpqacuxe/bld /usr/local/bin mv /usr/local/bin/bld/*.so /usr/local/lib echo /usr/local/lib >> /etc/ld.so.conf ldconfig ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Older URL: wget ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/pubsw-linux/p308169895/v40154/ss-scripting-toolkit-linux-1.70.tar.gz wget ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/pubsw-linux/p308169895/v43548/ss-scripting-toolkit-linux-1.81.tar.gz wget ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib2/software1/pubsw-linux/p308169895/v44247/ss-scripting-toolkit-linux-1.90.tar.gz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're making a backup with mondoarchive on a ProLiant system that you want to be able to restore using the Virtual Media function of ProLiants, then you have to ensure that the required drivers will be available at restore time. In order to ensure that, you may want to do on 2.2.x (x < 5) versions: - Edit your /usr/sbin/mindi script - Look for declaration of the variable FORCE_MODS. - Change it to FORCE_MODS="usb-storage sr_mod" Those drivers will then be available at restore time, and your virtual media thus detected and supported. As the CD-ROM emulated is a USB one, it will be a slower restore than using a real CD, or the network, but can be an easy way to load the mindi boot image e.g. and launch the rest of the restore through the network. With latest versions of mindi, those modules are already included and you don't have to do anything to have it work.
