HP Insight Control Software for Linux - Manual (Page 227)

Corrective actions Cause/Symptom
Ensure that you discover the managed server and its
management processor. Make sure that they are associated
with each other. Configuring node to boot from network: Error: Unable
to get MAC address from device control
During the managed system installation, the managed
system's management processor's MAC address was not
found. The OS installation tool attempts to set the
management processor for sole PXE boot. If there is no
management processor or if it is undetected, the operation
fails.
Perform the appropriate action:
• Reconfigure by running the
Options
→IC-Linux→Configure Management
Services task.
This usually corrects missing managed systems and
other bad data.
• Use the mxnode -ld hostname command or the HP
Insight Control user interface to determine if HP SIM
has the correct data for the System name, Host name,
and IP addresses for the host name in its database.
# mxnode -ld venus
System name: venus
Host name: venus
IP addresses: 192.0.2.1;
OS name: LINUX
OS revision: 5.1
OS revision text: Kernel Release:
2.6.18-53.el5 ...
• Verify that the
/opt/hptc/nagios/libexec/gather_all_data
--verbose
command is gathering data.
