HP WBEM Providers for Linux Installation Guide and Release Notes

2 Installing and Configuring
You can install the HP WBEM Providers using HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack for Linux
Support Pack or from the command line. Either method requires the use of the HP Integrity
Essentials Foundation Pack for Linux Support Pack.
Installing using the Command Line
Use the following steps to install HP WBEM Providers for Linux on your system:
1. Uninstall any previous releases of HP WBEM Providers for Linux. To determine if there are
any providers installed, enter:
# rpm -qa | grep hp.com-wbem-providers
If the command produces any output, uninstall the old providers using the following
command:
# rpm -e hp.com-wbem-providers
Due to problems in previous releases of the HP Integrity Foundation Pack for Linux, the
upgrade option of the RPM package manager does not operate correctly so the rpm -U
upgrade command cannot be used. You must completely remove previous versions of the
providers before installing new versions using the following steps:
a. Determine which RPMs are installed, enter:
# rpm -qa | grep ^hpwbem
hpwbem-firmwarelogs-3.3.4-5.rhel4
hpwbem-legacy-3.3.4-5.rhel4
hpwbem-3.3.4-5.rhel4
hpwbem-base-server-3.3.4-5.rhel4
The installed providers are displayed by RPM name.
b. You must remove each RPM displayed in the following order as follows:
# rpm -e hpwbem-legacy
# rpm -e hpwbem-firmwarelogs
# rpm -e hpwbem-base-server
# rpm -e hpwbem
c. Use the rpm -e <RPM name> to remove all remaining installed providers/RPMs.
2. Install the tog-pegasus RPM from your distribution media for RHEL distributions, or for
SLES9 from the HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack for Linux Support Pack, enter:
# rpm -i tog-pegasus*.rpm
3. Start the WBEM server by entering the following command:
# /etc/init.d/tog-pegasus start
4. Ensure that the installation and startup of OpenPegasus was successful using the following
command:
# osinfo
If relevant information about your system is displayed, similar to the following, then
installation was successful.
