   Hello,

   under http://www.bytec.de/debian you can find the ServerView-agents, ServerView-Raid and ServerView S2 Frontend for Debian Etch, too. We have also implemented those tools into the Bytec Side of Debian Installation Media, which is based on Debian Etch.

   Hi Thomas,

   thanks for the link! I was searching for the bytec stuff, unfortunally google didn’t help me on that.

   is there a way to change these files to enable support for
   the 2.6.18-4-vserver-686 kernel ?

   Thanks

   Hi,

   if you install linux-headers and a compiler, the serverview-agents should recompile for your kernel when you restart serverview (/etc/init.d/serverview restart).

   Hi,

   I have problems with the copa.ko module in Debian, wich is needed for the ServerView agent/eecd to run. I can compile it with either ‘/etc/init.d/eecd_mods_src makemods’ or directly in /etc/srvmagt/sources with ‘make’. The modules seems to compile, but when I try to insmod copa.ko, I get the following error: ‘insmod: error inserting ‘copa.ko’: -1 No such device’.

   IPMI and smbus loads OK.

   Any ideas?

   Regards
   KL

   Hi,

   please try the following:

   dpkg -P serverview;
   rm -rf /etc/srvmagt;
   aptitude install serverview;

   It worked on my systems.

   Hi,

   the package serverview provides the serverview-agents. Serverview-light is a browserbased tool, you can use to monitor your server`s status.

   Yep, i’ve already figured that out.

   But it does not work : /

   I can’t find the Port of Serverview-light, if i just open /server/BSOD/ the php sites, they are blank.

   Could it be that this version of serverview does not support FSC F200 or P200?

    Hi deadball,

    are the serverview-agents running (/etc/init.d/serverview restart)? Maybe you`ll have to install linux-headers to compile serverview modules for your kernel.

    Thank you very much that you exist! FSC and debian is something that i didn’t expect to be togheter without a lot of work.

13. 13 Testing Nov 4th, 2008 at 3:22 pm

    Same problem as LaBiloute

    PRIMERGY TX300 S4

    Edit:
    solved: after taking a look at the log apt-get install libstdc++5 and eecd starts!
    Can’t see alerts.

    Does anybody see a chance to get serverview running on a ubuntu-server with kernel 2.6.24? The problem is just to get the modules smbus.ko and ipmi.ko in the right format/version. Serverview is already running but the whole environment section etc. is missing.

    Thx for any help

    I experienced that stock serverview-agents don’t compile on kernels > 2.6.22. There must be a major change in the kernel-sources.
