Configuring HP Server Automation Core Server

 

To run an HP Server Automation policy, configure the HP Server Automation core server to enable automatic installation of the HP Server Agent on the core server. To enable automated installation, the location on the SA Core that contains the Server Agent installers needs to be made available in read-only fashion over both NFS and CIFS. This is accomplished by modifying the SAMBA configuration, the NFS configuration, and making the installers themselves executable.

 

  1. On the HP SA core server, export /var/opt/opsware/agent_installers via CIFS:

 

    1. Add the following to /etc/opt/opsware/samba/smb.conf:

      2. [hpsa-installers]

      path = /var/opt/opsware/agent_installers

      read only = yes> read only = yes

      read only = yes

       

    1. Restart the Samba services:

      2. opt/opsware/samba/sbin/samba restart

       

  1. Export the same directory via NFS using the following command on the HP SA Core server.
  1. Add the following line to /etc/exports:

/var/opt/opsware/agent_installers *(ro)

 

  1. Restart the NFS services:

/etc/init.d/nfs restart

  1. Make the installers executable:

    chmod +x /var/opt/opsware/agent_installers/*
