HP Array support - hpacucli
-
Hi
I have pfSense running on on Proliant DL380 very successfully. Today I got a console message from CISS about a disk failure in the RAID.
This has prompted me to try to install HP's linux command line tool HP Array Configuration Utility Command Line Utility or hpacucli to it's friends.I have the installer from the HP website and I've copied it to the firewall, but it's an RPM. pfSense doesn't seem to have RPM installed.
Has anyone used the utility, or can you tell me how to install RPM? or is there another way to interrogate the controller without rebooting and pressing F8 and using ORCA.
Thanks

RPM stands for Redhat Package Manager. Your firewall runs on FreeBSD. So you're looking for a BSD port of the HP tools. RPMs won't install on non-Linux systems. From what little I've read on the subject you may be in for a long wait. HP don't appear to directly support BSD, though you might have some luck searching Sourceforge or similar sites.

As explained before it isn´t there and will be never there, it is used by the packet manager from Linux
and not BSD.Has anyone used the utility, or can you tell me how to install RPM?
No one can do it ever, since pfSense is based on FreeBSD and FreeBSD own it first.
You willing is likes to install a .msi file on a Atari or MaxOS.
