Has anyone gotten HP/Compaq's linux support tools to load on FC6?
I have a two-processor DL380 G3 and was trying to use the "Support
Pack" from
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/
1145_6213.html
but specifically I want the array configuration utility (to manage
arrays) and the NIC agents, which I think are required to get the
system fans to slow down and be quiet.
At first it complained that it wasn't installing on a known
release. I tried to fool it by creating /etc/redhat-release with
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga)" with no
sucess--it tries to install now but complains about the kernel.
Have googled & looked in fedora-list archives & not seen anything
on this issue.
The only way to make this work is to use RHEL or RHEL clones like
CentOS, because only these have enough compatibility.
I tried it on CentOS (running on some Proliant DL xxx), but it wasn't
very stable.
Good luck,
Guy
