Today I was busy to to install some HP Managent Agents 8.60 on a DL380 G6, after entering the host in maintenance mode, extracting the HP software in the /tmp/ folder I was ready to install the agent. By running the command “./install860.sh –install” I received the warning that some VM’s still running and must be powered down before you install the agent, warning:

An active Virtual Machine [ ***.***.***.*** ] has been detected on host [*****.*****.local]

And:

Please modify the state of the VMs to be Suspended or powered off and then retry Agents Installation.

See full message log:

 

[[email protected]********* 860]# ./install860vibs.sh –install

HP Insight Manager Agent 8.6.0-11 Installer for VMware ESX
Target System is VMware ESX 4.0.0 build-208167
Server:  ProLiant DL380 G6

This script will now attempt to set ESX Host in Maintenance Mode
for IM agents install.
Do you wish to continue? (y/n) y

(vim.fault.NotFound) {
   dynamicType = <unset>,
   faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null,
   msg = "Unable to find a VM corresponding to "***.***.***.***"",
}
(vim.fault.NotFound) {
   dynamicType = <unset>,
   faultCause = (vmodl.MethodFault) null,
   msg = "Unable to find a VM corresponding to "***.***.***.***"",
}
An active Virtual Machine [ ***.***.***.*** ] has been detected on host [*****.*****.local]

The ESX host will be put into maintenance mode
   to be able to install/uninstall the agents.
The Virtual Machines must be either Powered off or Suspended
   by the operator to allow the transition
   of the ESX host into maintenance mode.
Please modify the state of the VMs to be Suspended or powered off
   and then retry Agents Installation.

Het is daarstraks niet gelukt om te upgraden van HP Management Agent versie 8.1 naar versie 8.2, had voorheen ook mijn oude installatie bestanden verwijdert.

Om de HP Management Agents te deinstalleren opnieuw de oude “hpmgmt-8.1.0-vmware3x.tgz” gedownload en uitgepakt met tar -zxvf hpmgmt-8.2.0-vmware3x.tgz

Uit de map: /var/tmp/update/hpmgmt/810/ het volgende commando uitgevoerd:

./installvm810.sh –uninstall

De agents worden nu juist gedeinsatlleerd:

De nieuwe installatie kan worden uitgevoerd.
