HP Insight Control for Linux 7.1 Update 1 Release Notes

◦ enclosure.gd2 for the statusmap.
The recommended method for creating a GD2 format file is as follows:
1. If you have not already done so, install the libgd -tools package.
2. Convert your image file to PNG format.
3. Use the pngtogd2 utility to convert the PNG image file to GD2 format.
Use a chunk size of 0 during the conversion to create an uncompressed GD2 image because
compressed GD2 images slow down the generation of the statusmap CGI image.
For more information on the GD2 file format, see http://www.boutell.com/gd/.
2.3.4 Temperature data issues on some servers
Some servers with recent changes in iLO sensor names demonstrate issues related to temperature
data. The temperature data is not stored in the Round Robin Database (RRD), the data is not
displayed with HP Graph or Performance Dashboard, and Nagios cannot generate alerts when
the temperature is out of range.
Corrective action: HP recommends the following procedure that will permit the temperature data
to be collected and enable Nagios to generate temperature data alerts. However, the temperature
data will still not be displayed in HP Graph and Performance Dashboard because there is no
corrective action to resolve this issue.
1. On the CMS, use the text editor of your choice to edit the /opt/hptc/nagios/etc/
nagios_vars.ini file as follows:
a. Search for the variable FULLSENSORLISTING
b. Enable full sensor listing by changing the value to 1:
FULLSENSORLISTING = 1
c. Save the file and exit the text editor.
This will allow all iLO sensors to be gathered and recorded in sensor history, and will allow
alerts to be generated for sensors that are out of range.
2. Clear the RRD data:
a. Ensure that you are logged in as root on the CMS.
b. Enter the following commands at the command prompt:
# service nagios stop
# /bin/rm -rf /hptc_cluster/rrd/*
3. Select Options→IC-Linux→Configure Management Services to reconfigure management services
on the CMS.
