Install PSP on CentOS 6 x86_64

Jephe Wu - http://linuxtechres.blogspot.com

Environment: HP ProLiant BL460c G6, installed CentOS 6 x86_64
Objective: install proliant support package (PSP)


Steps:

Note: do not use psp for CentOS 6 one, it's older version and it might not work. Use Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 instead.

1. change /etc/centos-release
cp /etc/centos-release /etc/centos-release.orig -va
vi /etc/centos-release as follows:
Change CentOS to
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.0 (Final)


otherwise, some psp packages will fail to install and hpsmh will fail to install as well , it will report zlib version 1.1.4 or above is missing.

2. install hp-snmp-agents first from command line, otherwise, smhd installation will fail from ./hpsum (software update manager)

 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
