No Disk Information is Shown in the ILOM CLI
After installing the Hardware Management Agent on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the hwagentd service starts but you encounter something similar to the following:
/etc/init.d/hwagentd start
Starting Sun HW agent services: . . . . . . . . [ OK ]
/etc/init.d/hwagentd status
hwagentd dead but subsys locked
In addition, there may be a line in the Hardware Management Agent similar to the following:
hwagentd_poller.c:334:hwagent_bmc_response_test):Unable to reach the KCS interface over ipmitool-hwagentd.
This problem is most likely occurring because the IPMI device drivers have not been installed. Hardware Management Agent uses the IPMI drivers to access the KCS interface.
Solution: Install an IPMI system such as OpenIPMI which provides device drivers for full access to IPMI information.
