Completely ignore me, what an idiot!!

Was testing on a development ESX box with an emulex HBA!?!?!

Went to the production box installed in the same way and it worked perfectly.

It’s been a long weekend of upgrading, think I need some rest

Hi Arnim

Great script, wish I had seen it sooner as I may have avoided my current issue.

I’m having issues adding the Qlogic libraries, I only discovered the fact that the libs are not in HP Agents 8.2.0 after the agents had been installed and the servers put back in to usage.

I stop HPASM and HPSMHD services and install the libraries and start them all back up in the order dictated within the HP read me.

Still get no HBA’s within HP insight manager. I’m wondering if the libraries have to be in place before the installation to work. Or is it just that the ESX server needs a reboot to get it working?

Any help you could offer would be much appreciated

Cheers

Craig

Nice uninstall trick! Up to HP Agents 8.2 it is
(which makes it even more complex)

Instead of plink, you might also use Mac-Ro-Knife (free) or Altiris / HP RDP
