I tried using the same PDF document that you used, with no results. Except I didn't install the cpqlocfg or hponcfg because of all the other packages you had to install with it. How did you install the cpqlocfg or hpconcfg did you have to install a lot of dependencies. I did try the other methods without doing what I mentioned above and it didn't work.
