Instalasi HP Array Configuration Utility CLI (HPACUCLI) pada CentOS 6.6 64 bit

Terkait dengan kedatangan 2 buah HP Server Proliant ML-370 G5, saya membutuhkan tools untuk mengecek kapabilitas dan kemampuan server ini. Saya sudah mendownload dan menggunakan HP SmartStart untuk mengakses Array Configuration Utility sekaligus melakukan setup RAID disk. Untuk melakukan manajemen dan mengecek konfigurasi Array Controller dan RAID via server Linux, saya melakukan instalasi aplikasi HPACUCLI.

HPACUCLI atau HP Array Configuration Utility CLI adalah tools berbasis Command Line Interface/CLI yang bisa digunakan melalui Linux untuk mengecek dan memodifikasi konfigurasi sistem HP Array/RAID Controller. Berikut adalah panduan instalasi menggunakan CentOS 6.6 64 bit :

1. Gunakan konfigurasi default dari server
2. Install CentOS 6.6 64 bit minimal server
3. Pastikan sistem CentOS bisa mengakses internet dengan baik
4. Jalankan perintah berikut dengan hak akses root :

   wget http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/bootstrap.sh
   chmod +x bootstrap.sh
   ./bootstrap.sh -d centos -r 6.5 -a x86_64 MCP
   

   Contoh tampilannya adalah sebagai berikut :[root@localhost opt]# ./bootstrap.sh -d centos -r 6.5 -a x86_64 MCP
   warn : cannot find command : lsb_release
