HP Management Base Installation and User's Guide (May 2006)

Sometimes other user or system actions cause the distribution's drivers to be loaded before hpmgmtbase is
installed, and hindsight shows that was a mistake. Follow the following steps:
1. /etc/init.d/hpima stop # If SNMP agents are installed
/etc/init.d/hpwebm stop # If SNMP agents are installed
/etc/init.d/hpmgmtbase stop
to stop any HP IPMI programs that might be running.
2. /etc/init.d/hpmgmtbase unconfigure
erases current knowledge of appropriate IPMI drivers.
3. lsmod | grep ipmi
To show any IPMI driver modules that may have been loaded before hpmgmtbase was originally
installed.
4. For each of the modules listed above, rmmod
ipmi_msghandler must be last. This removes any offending IPMI modules.
5. /etc/init.d/hpmgmtbase configure
To probe and select appropriate IPMI modules. If this step returns with messages indicating you must
rebuild your IPMI driver, refer to that section of this document.
6. /etc/init.d/hpmgmtbase start
To cache the SDRR and start hpseld.
Wait 30 seconds, then verify that hpseld is running. If that works, then you must disable whatever mechanism
was loading the offending IPMI modules.
