Dear Hugh, HP does offer documentation on how PSP does not work. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01663933&dimid=1130744662&dicid=alr_mar09&jumpid=em_alerts/us/mar09/all/xbu/emailsubid/mrm/mcc/loc/rbu_category_ISSPCNHPProLian/alerts I am working with RHEL5.3 64 bit custom install and my RHCE and HP expert have me installing only the Server Management Homepage, not the PSP. We use it to look at the hard drives in the MSA storage housings and will be using it to look at SANs devices. The SMH is one of the first steps in any diagnosis we do so we can verify if there is a hardware problem causing the perfomrance issue. Read the above article and find out how to sign yourself up for the notices. Just to give you an idea that PSP has various problems, here are some of the other titles I cut and pasted from the HP support page.

I am new to 5.3 (but not RHEL) and HP. I am attempting to load the HP ProLiant Support Pack (PSP 8.20) but I have been encountering some problems. Apparently portions of the PSP require the kernel source and this is were I believe that I am having my problem. Here is what I have, what I have done and what I am attempting to do (hopefully with sufficient detail): 1. Our current kernel is kernel-PAE-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5. 2. I have downloaded and installed kernel-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.src.rpm. 3. I have also installed rpm-build, rpm-devel, unifdef, gcc, make, redhat-rpm-config, ncurses-devel and kernel-devel. 4. I have ran: cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS rpmbuild –bp -–target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD cp -a kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.i686/ /usr/src/ ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.18.i686/ /usr/src/linux 5. I am attemtping to run the PSP installed (install820.sh) but I am encountering: The HP ProLiant Linux Deployment Utility requires source code for the 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5PAE kernel be available for building and installing certain drivers included in this bundle. The directory, /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.1.el5PAE/build, is either missing, or is empty. When I check the /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.1.el5PAE directory is present but the build subdirectory is not. I strongly suspect that I have not followed through sufficiently on installing the kernel source but this is all new to me. I have never had the need to rebuild a kernel and what I have so far is based on several different sources such as: http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-9786 and http://ingvar.blog.linpro.no/2007/12/14/bygge-kjerne-pa-rhel5-med-egen-konfi gurasjon Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
