Download the following packages from www.hp.com for your hardware / RHEL3

• hpasm (System Health Application and Insight Management Agents)
  201002, latest version: hpasm-7.8.1-116.rhel3.i386.rpm
• cmanic (HP NIC agent), and the optional
  201002, latest version: cmanic-7.7.0-5.rhel3.linux.rpm
• hpsmh (System Management Homepage)

Installing System Management Homepage (optional)

Login as expert on SPLAT and create the following file:
    echo "Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon)" > /etc/redhat-release

Install the hpsmh package:
    rpm -ivh hpsmh-2.1.8-177.linux.i386.rpm

Install support files for HPASM

Extract the Splat hpasm supportfiles:
    tar xzvf splat_hpasm_support_files.tgz splat_hpasm

Copy the IPMI sysconfig file (If your system has an iLO2 Mgmt Controller)
    cp splat_hpasm/init_scripts/sysconfig_ipmi /etc/sysconfig/ipmi

Copy the IPMI init script for your kernel version (Check with uname –r)
    cp splat_hpasm/init_scripts/2.4_init_ipmi /etc/init.d/ipmi

Copy the libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so file to /usr/lib and set up a link
    cp splat_hpasm/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so /usr/lib
    ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
    chmod 755 /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so

Enable SNMP

Snmp service enable

Install HPASM

Remove any previous versions if present:
    rpm -e hponcfg
    rpm -e cmanic
    rpm -e hprsm
    rpm -e hpasm

Install the HPASM package
    rpm -ivh hpasm-7.8.1-116.rhel3.i386.rpm

Install the NIC Agents
    rpm -ivh cmanic-7.7.0-5.rhel3.linux.rpm
