NOTE: You must install the new HP MANAGMENT COMPONENT PACK FOR PROLIANT (MCP) prior to use this script (see details below)
The hpacucli-check.sh is a bash shell script that checks the status of controller, array, logical and physical driver on a HP Server with the command hpaculi (HP Array Configuration Utility Client), also provides logging via syslog and sending of an email with errors, warning and alerts to administrators.
Since 2012 the HP Array Configuration Utility became part of the HP Managment Component Pack for Proliant (MCP) instead of the HP Support Pack for Proliant (SPP), the former provided agent software for use on community-supported distributions, while the latter provided support for RedHat and SUSE distributions.
Also the MCP (unlike the SPP) did not provide drivers or firmware. Firmware was provided via HPSUM while drivers were provided by the distribution vendors.
The MCP product home page contained for more information, including support matrices and ISO image downloads.
The old HP SPP CD for Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 ("lenny") and Ubuntu 9.04 ("jaunty") x86/AMD64/EM64T" was downloadable from the HP Support Web Site (at least in December of 2012): https://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc;=US&swItem;=MTX-799829d8271f455d9367978b5a&prodTypeId;=15351&prodSeriesId;=1121516
