I keep finding funnies with the HP Insight Manager agents.\u00a0 I deployed a HP DL380 G5 server on Friday but a funny appeared on Saturday that I’ve not been able to diagnose.\u00a0 SNMP availability keeps appearing with a warning in the Health view for the server with no associated alert.\u00a0 I found a warning in Event Viewer related to a HP iSCSI agent and I though it was that.\u00a0 I disabled it and the alert returned an hour later.\u00a0 Armed with some time stamps I trawled through the server.\u00a0 The HP logs showed a healthy server.<\/p>\n
However the Operations Manager log for the agent showed the health scripts weren’t able to pull the performance metrics from the HP (Broadcom) NC multifunction NIC driver.\u00a0 The time stamp matches the health status change.<\/p>\n
The only thing I can think of to resolve it is to upgrade the driver.\u00a0 The server in question is located remotely so I’ll not be able to do the upgrade until I am onsite.\u00a0 The latest PSP (8.0) seems to include an older driver.\u00a0 I’d upgraded the agents to 8.1 to resolve other issues so I guess there might be a problem with the older NIC driver?<\/p>\n
Jeez, I wish HP’s developers would do a better job.\u00a0 There’s this, the raft of SIM errors I’ve encountered a few weeks ago and the scandal with the Intel drivers on AMD computers that screwed up Windows Service Packs recently.\u00a0\u00a0 Is HP quality control is slipping?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
