HP Insight Control for Linux 6.1 Release Notes

NOTE: This becomes the default action for all DL100 series servers that are discovered
unless a host name file is present to override it.
3. Add a single line to the new file to specify the format of the BMC's UUID in the form
UUIDFORMAT=string (no spaces), as follows:
UUIDFORMAT=string
where string is one of the following:
• original if the BMC firmware is lower than or equal to Version 3.10 and the system
BIOS is not equal to 2008.10.10.
• uppercaseG6 if the BMC firmware is lower than or equal to Version 3.10 and the
system BIOS is equal to 2008.10.10.
• G6 if the BMC firmware version is higher than Version 3.10.
4. Save your changes and exit the text editor.
After the server has been discovered with the bare metal discovery process, you can install an
OS on it.
2.3.2 Maintaining the association between the BMC and ProLiant DL100 G5 series
server in SIM (BMC firmware <3.11)
NOTE: This release note applies only to DL100 G5 series servers with BMC firmware earlier
than version 3.11.
DL100 G5 series servers with BMC firmware 3.11 and later do not exhibit this behavior.
To maintain the association between the BMC and a DL100 G5 series server after installation,
follow these steps:
IMPORTANT: You must perform the steps shown here regardless of whether or not the BMC
is on a private network.
1. Create an /etc/icelx/uuidformat directory on the installed node:
# mkdir -p /etc/icelx/uuidformat
2. Populate the directory with the same files and settings as those used during a bare metal
discovery.
If you are using Insight Control for Linux to install an OS on the server, it is recommended
that you make these changes from the Kickstart or AutoYaST files by adding lines such as
the following before the %%agentinstall%% macro:
mkdir -p /etc/icelx/uuidformat
echo "UUIDFORMAT=G6" >/etc/icelx/uuidformat/hostname1
echo "UUIDFORMAT=G6" >/etc/icelx/uuidformat/hostname2
In this example, replace hostname1 and hostname2 with valid host names.
