Emerson 4620 manual Setting Up HPI Clients, Installing HPI Clients

Setting Up HPI Clients Software Installation and Configuration

The corresponding section in the configuration file is called ipmidirect. Within ipmidirect, you need to adapt the entries addr and port, where addr is the IP address and port is the port.

In a Centellis 4620 shelf the virtual IP address used to access the SAMs via RMCP is 192.168.24.11 and the port number is 623, by default. Thus, an entry in your configuration file should look as follows:

handler	ipmidirect {
entity_root = "{ADVANCEDTCA_CHASSIS,0}"
name	= "lan"		#	RMCP
addr	=	"192.168.24.11"		RMCP	port
port	=	"623"	#

...

Both SAMs are operated in an active/stand-by mode. An internal redundancy mechanism ensures that the HPI-B daemon is always connected to the currently active SAM. Since a virtual IP address is used, this is transparent to the HPI-B daemons and HPI-B client applications.

2.3Setting Up HPI Clients

This section describes how to install/configure HPI clients on node blades.

2.3.1Installing HPI Clients

Procedure

In order to install/upgrade an HPI-B client package on a node blade, proceed as follows.

1.Connect to the node blade where you wish to install the HPI-B client package.

2.Copy the RPM file that you wish to install to the node blade. Refer to Table "RPM Files for HPI-B Clients and Daemons" on page 17 for details on available RPM files for your particular node blade.

3.If applicable, enter rpm -e <Old HPI-B client package name> to uninstall an already installed client package

4.Enter rpm -i <New HPI-B client RPM file name>

This installs the HPI-B library package.

The following table lists the directories and their content available on the blade after installing the package.
