RHEL5 and HP PSP 8.20

[Phebe_Mertes at aotx.uscourts.gov]

Dear Hugh,

HP does offer documentation on how PSP does not work.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01663933&dimid=1130744662&dicid=alr_mar09&jumpid=em_alerts/us/mar09/all/xbu/emailsubid/mrm/mcc/loc/rbu_category_ISSPCNHPProLian/alerts

I am working with RHEL5.3 64 bit custom install and my RHCE and HP expert
have me installing only the Server Management Homepage, not the PSP. We use
it to look at the hard drives in the MSA storage housings and will be using
it to look at SANs devices. The SMH is one of the first steps in any
diagnosis we do so we can verify if there is a hardware problem causing the
perfomrance issue.

Read the above article and find out how to sign yourself up for the
notices. Just to give you an idea that PSP has various problems, here are
some of the other titles I cut and pasted from the HP support page.

RHEL 5.3, HP DL360G5 and PSP 8.20

Hi All:

I am in the process of installing RHEL 5.3 on a new HP DL360G5 box.
I am new to 5.3 (but not RHEL) and HP. I am attempting to load the
HP ProLiant Support Pack (PSP 8.20) but I have been encountering
some problems. Apparently portions of the PSP require the kernel
source and this is were I believe that I am having my problem.

Here is what I have, what I have done and what I am attempting to
do (hopefully with sufficient detail):

1. Our current kernel is kernel-PAE-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.

2. I have downloaded and installed kernel-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.src.rpm.

3. I have also installed rpm-build, rpm-devel, unifdef, gcc, make,
   redhat-rpm-config, ncurses-devel and kernel-devel.

4. I have ran:

   cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
   rpmbuild –bp -–target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec
   cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD
   cp -a kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.i686/ /usr/src/
   ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.i686/ /usr/src/linux

5. I am attemtping to run the PSP installed (install820.sh) but I
   am encountering:

     The HP ProLiant Linux Deployment Utility requires source code
     for the 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5PAE kernel be available for building and
     installing certain drivers included in this bundle.
     The directory, /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.1.el5PAE/build, is either
     missing, or is empty.

   When I check the /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.1.el5PAE directory is
   present but the build subdirectory is not.

I strongly suspect that I have not followed through sufficiently on
installing the kernel source but this is all new to me. I have never
had the need to rebuild a kernel and what I have so far is based on
several different sources such as:

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-9786 and
http://ingvar.blog.linpro.no/2007/12/14/bygge-kjerne-pa-rhel5-med-egen-konfi

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Regards, Hugh
