Fujitsu Serverview on TX1330 M3 with Ubuntu

[SandMan]

Hello,
I need some help while I still have hair left on my head.

Lately, I've been working on deploying a Fujitsu TX1330 M3 for a small business client. The client requested that I use Ubuntu Server 16.04.3 LTS for the operating system, which I thought was fine as I have good experience with Ubuntu. The installation went quite okay, with a fair amount of trial and error.

But on to the matter at hand. The TX1330 M3 comes with iRMC S4, which I would like to use, both for monitoring the server, and to send a graceful shutdown command to Ubuntu when the mains power falls out. (The server is equipped with a Fujitsu Battery Unit which takes over for a few minutes)

As I understand, there are two options which can be installed in the OS to enable this, Serverview Agents and Serverview Agentless Management. However, Fujitsu only provides .rpm packages for use on SuSE and Red Hat Linux, not Ubuntu.

Still, I was able to find Serverview Agents and ServerView RAID Manager for Ubuntu 16.04 here:

ftp://ftp.ts.fujitsu.com/community-linu ... lts/16.04/

I've downloaded both packages and installed them on the server using gdebi, and the installations complete without errors.

The next problem occurs when I run the command srvmagt.

Code: Select all

sandman@Pegasus:~/serverview_agents_install$ srvmagt
/usr/sbin/srvmagt: 16: /etc/srvmagt/functions: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

However, this seems to be caused by /usr/sbin/srvmagt being written for bash, but the shebang specifies #!/bin/sh. In newer versions of Ubuntu, this calls a dash shell, not bash. Changing this to #!/bin/bash causes the script to run normally, but with a lot of errors:

Code: Select all

As you can see, the script still calls for the rpm command several times; this of course doesn’t work on stock Ubuntu. But it can be installed with apt-get, and running the command again after installing rpm gives us:

As I am apparently missing a lot of components of Serverview, I try to install these with

Code: Select all

sudo srvmagt install

but this only tells me the following:

Code: Select all

There is probably no matching kernel source for kernel version 4.4.0-98-generic installed. For details see /var/log/messages.

Is there anybody here on this forum who can help me with how to move forward with this project?

Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

Looks like you'd want to install the matching linux-source next and see where that takes you.
