Bar graph display on IMD for Proliants
I remember somewhere that there is a utility which talks to the IMD on
machines like the 5500, 7000, and so on which gives you a bar graph display of CPU load, memory used, and a couple of other configurable things. I also remember that it's strictly a Win2K or Win Server 2003 utility. I've had a look on HP's site but can't find it. Does anybody remember what it was called and which category it's listed under? I reckon this would be a handy thing to run under WINE for my Gentoo machines. |

I am running Server 2003, so the latest PSP was right for me. I believe I seen one listed for Solaris and (I think) Red Hat Enterprise. Search the Compaq website for the word "PSP". Jeff |

Jeff Thanks yes I've found it, tried to run it under WINE but it barfed because it wanted the system control driver installed first, which then insisted I install Internet Explorer first (not bloody likely) so I've given up on trying to run the Windows version under Gentoo + WINE. I'll see if I can find it for *NIX. such is life when one tries to shortcut the ways of the compaq(HP) server ..... - LC |

such is life when one tries to shortcut the ways of the compaq(HP) server .... Please post back if you do find some of the mgmt utilities for any (newer) flavor of Linux.. I looked around a while back and didn't really find anything much aside from some Smart Array utilties.. -- Rick all the packages are up there ...but for RHEL and stuff like that. Just look at just about any G3/G4 server and chose a supported linux distro. you will see all the goodies that are available there. I havent tried to use ANY of those OS's on these things, and I have not tried to shoehorn utilities for the Enterprise Distro's onto other distros .... so beware that you might have some pain ahead of you. - LC |

I have never installed a RedHat Enterprise distro, but I believe that they roughly correspond to Fedora Core releases (Enterprise people correct me if I'm wrong). So Enterprise 4 roughly corresponds to Fedora Core 4, etc. Jeff |

So Enterprise 4 roughly corresponds to Fedora Core 4, etc. While this might be correct (and probably is), I didn't see anything listed under RHE4 that could be used with an older Proliant such as a 6400 or 5500 or anything of that era.. That stuff seemed to be more geared towards DL's, MLs, BL's, etc. I suspect that if you want to use their older drivers, you're stuck with old school Linux (2.4 kernel). -- Rick |

Searching for drivers and searching for utilities appear to be different animals. Take my 3000's, for example. "Official" Compaq support for this machine ended years ago...and when you search under "software and drivers" for the 3000, you will find the most recent Linux to be Enterprise 1. However, I have gotten Fedora Core 4 to run perfectly on a 3000...GUI (X window) and all. Just because an OS is not "officially" supported does not mean that it will not work. I was then able to grab a PSP, designed for a DL system, that was written for Enterprise 4. The drivers in the pack were useless, but I pulled some utilities out of it (like the IMD Utility, for instance) and they worked just fine. In the Linux world, any utility that has been compiled to work with a certain kernel will work on ANY machine running that kernel. Like I said...confusing Jeff |
