HP Management Component Pack for Ubuntu

We got a couple of HP ProLiant DL380 G7 servers, and this is what HP has to offer for being certified for Ubuntu: Management Component Pack (on its Software Delivery Repository).

And here’s how to set it up on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/MCP/ubuntu precise/current non-free

Download and add the repo keys to the system:

wget http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/MCP/GPG-KEY-MCP
apt-key add GPG-KEY-MCP

Finally, get the list of packages from the repo and install whichever packages required (hpacucli to configure the disk array controller):

apt-get update
apt-get install hpacucli

Done!
