As always, being a little more specific helps, MighMoS 18:38, 6 Apr 2005 (GMT)

I was just saying why I was not working on it, not really looking for help. T0ny 15:25, 8 Apr 2005 (GMT)

Sorry, my bad.

No problem -T0ny 08:04, 9 Apr 2005 (GMT)

Well I just wrote up the manual installation method. Please test and correct my errors! I will maybe try and make an ebuild for it, but I've never done that before ... —DanC 07:03, 2 November 2005 (GMT)

Oh and I was wondering, is there any better way to extract the files from an RPM, than to use rpm2targz and then tar xvzf? Seems wasteful, since it looks like rpm2targz actually gzips the tar back up, although there's no man page nor --help for rpm2targz grr ... —DanC 07:11, 2 November 2005 (GMT)

I used you manual instructions, that worked perfectly on my Compaq Proliant DL380, my fans are now running in none jet mode, thanks for the good guide! --The Hunter 03:19, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] information from the scsi agent?

I've sucessfully installed hpasm on one of my proliant (many thanks for the howto), the hpasmcli works, but I'd like to have some information from the others agent (the SCSI one for example), are there better way than watching /var/spool/compaq/cma.log? what about snmp? --Disaster 07:45, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

See bug#77497 --Disaster 12:01, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Just a note, this does not work with a G2 DL360. I've tried a variety of versions ranging from 7.0 to 8.0, and all have no effect on the fans speed. The G2 seems to have a history of issues with fan speed.
