Software support for HP DL380 G5

Dude!Jun 30 2008 — edited Aug 17 2008

Hello,

Due to lack of support of recent versions of OMS 10g running on Alpha Tru64 Unix, I decided to give Oracle on Linux a try. At least Oracle on Metalink thought it was a good idea.

I downloaded Oracle Enterprise Linux version 4.6 from linux.oracle.com and installed in on a brand new HP DL 380 G5 with 4 GB RAM and SAS disks.

Problem 1)

The computer was frequently reseting itself every several hours without giving any clue. After trying a few things I ended up disabling ASR (Automated Server Recovery) in the System Bios, and the machine has been up for the last several days since. Is this a known problem. Any fix available?

Problem 2)

The Linux kernel reports 2.6.9-67.0.0.0.1.ELsmp. HP software support pack requires 2.6.9-67.ELsmp and it does not install. How can I install the vendor specific drivers?

Problem 3)

Oracle's up2date does not work for me. I have put in my Metalink ID but it rejects.

Thanks for any answer,

Best regards,
Markus
