How to Install Components on a Linux Server

Before You Begin

• To install Hardware Management Pack components manually, you must be logged into your system with root privileges.

• Download and extract the Hardware Management Pack. See Getting the Software.

  The directory that you extract the files is referred to as extract-directory in this procedure.

• The packages for Hardware Management Pack have dependencies that must be satisfied for a successful installation. See Software Dependencies for more information.

• If your system includes adapters using technology from QLogic, Emulex or Mellanox, you must install the appropriate Third party utilities included with Hardware Management Pack. See Available Packages for Linux.

• These instructions also apply to Oracle VM, see Software Dependencies for operating system specific package dependencies information.

1. If you want to install only ipmitool or ipmiflash, see the following steps. If you also want to install the other Hardware Management Pack components, go to Step 3.
   • To install ipmiflash, run the following command:

     rpm -i /extract-directory/packages/ipmiflash*.rpm

   • To install ipmitool, run the following command:

     rpm -i /extract-directory/packages/ipmitool*.rpm

     By default, no output opens after the installation.

2. Determine which Hardware Management Pack components to install.

   See Available Packages for Linux for an overview of which packages are available for installation.

   Note ‐ You must install oracle-hmp-libs with all packages. If you are installing oracle-hmp-snmp you must also install oracle-hmp-hwmgmt.

3. Use the following command to install the packages:

   rpm -i /extract-directory/packages/oracle-hmp-libs*.rpm additional components

   For example, to install just the Hardware Management Agent and SNMP plugins:

   rpm -i /extract-directory/packages/oracle-hmp-libs*rpm /extract-directory/packages/oracle-hmp-hwmgmt*rpm /extract-directory/packages/oracle-hmp-snmp*rpm

   No output opens by default.
