HP Insight control for Linux 6.2 Installation Guide

IMPORTANT: If your corporate policy requires SElinux, a published Insight Control for Linux
white paper describes how to enable SElinux after an Insight Control for Linux installation.
See Section 10.3 (page 70) for information about how to obtain Insight Control for Linux white
papers.
3.4.1.4 Verify Systems Insight Manager version
Systems Insight Manager does not need to be preinstalled on the server, but if it is, the installed
version must meet the minimum version requirements for Insight Control for Linux. See the HP
Insight Control for Linux Support Matrix for a list of supported versions of Systems Insight Manager.
If the server is running a version of Systems Insight Manager that is not listed in the HP Insight
Control for Linux Support Matrix, you must manually upgrade the CMS to a supported version
of Systems Insight Manager before you begin the Insight Control for Linux installation process.
3.4.1.5 Install the supported version of the PSP
If the CMS is an HP ProLiant server with an iLO-based MP, you must install the supported
version of the PSP that has been tested with this release. A PSP contains essential operating
specific optimized drivers, utilities, and management agents that are required for ProLiant
hardware platforms.
NOTE: You can skip the PSP installation step in the following circumstances:
• When the CMS is an HP ProLiant DL100 series server (such as the DL160, DL165, DL180,
and DL185). PSPs are not available for those hardware models.
• When you are installing Insight Control for Linux in a virtual machine guest.
See the HP Insight Control for Linux Support Matrix for the PSP version that has been tested and
qualified for this release.
Minimum PSP components to install
You can install the entire contents of the PSP, but at a minimum you must install the following
components:
• HP System Health Application
• HP System Insight Management Agents
• HP ProLiant Channel Interface Device Driver for iLO/iLO2
NOTE: The associated RPM names for these components are hp-health, hp-snmp-agents,
and hp-ilo, respectively.
Use the instructions in Section 10.3.2 (page 71) if you need to download a PSP and its
accompanying user guide.
3.4.1.6 Unset proxy environment variables
Before you begin the Insight Control for Linux installation process, ensure that no *_proxy
environmental variables are defined. They cause the installer to hang at "Starting Systems Insight
Manager" during the installation process.
You can define proxy settings in either the /etc/wgetrc file or via an environment variable,
so ensure that no proxy variables are set in either location.
