HP Insight Management Agents 8.40 Managing ProLiant Servers with Linux HOW TO Whitepaper

Managing ProLiant Servers with Linux – HOWTO v8.40

# rpm –Uvh hp-health-<version>.<distribution>.<platform>.rpm

For more information about this component, see the online documentation by entering:

$ man hp-health

Note:

The version number for the RPM file varies depending on the supported

systems and functionality. The distribution refers to the Linux distribution

supported by the RPM. The platform refers to the processor architecture the

RPM was built to support. The RPM file has a binary compiled for the

supported distribution with the default kernel.

After the installation process, the health service is configured to automatically start each time your system boots.

To start the service without rebooting, type:

# /etc/init.d/hp-health start

# service hp-health start

The health service can take more than 2 minutes to load, which is expected behavior. On systems with

variable speed fans, the fans might start spinning more slowly if the temperature is reasonably low.

To check if the Health Monitor is loaded properly, enter the following command (which is only available when

logged in as system administrator, super user, or root):

# /etc/init.d/hp-health status

# service hp-health status
