HP Utils (propriety) #4
Description
Having recently had to reinstall them on development to combat fan noise, I don't really know how to create a profile for them. They differ based on the age of the hardware, particularly with the RAID monitoring cli. Basically HPE suck 👎

The issue here is that the last compatible versions of the tools are dependant on what version of Debian was released when the server was made
DLxxx G3 wheezy | hp-health cpqacuxe hponcfg
DLxxx G5 wheezy/jessie | hp-health hponcfg hpssaducli
DLxxx G7 stretch | hponcfg ssacli saa
DLxxx G8 buster | hponcfg ssacli saa hp-asm
Where DL = 360/380
I have no idea what the management is for the Microserver G10. Without hp-health on older hardware there is no fan control, without ssa there isn't any reporting of disk failures in RAID etc (other than physically looking at the array).
Dunno if this is too much of an edge case, but there must be a generic way of doing something like DMIDecode | grep DL[360,380,385] G5 and then adding the correct software repos', thinking more broadly this would be a solution for any third party driver. Just needs a bit of though
