DESCRIPTION:  This .ZIP file contains driver and support software for MSHD support for ProLiant ML150 servers running Linux .

Enhancements:
Added the following:

* About the CPU temperature
     Add the system log function when the CPU temperature exceeds its 
     limitation. When the CPU temperature exceeds its limitation, the system will 
     automatically save the most recent results (including the time of event, CPU 
     ID, and CPU temperature) in the syslog file. To view the syslog file, type the 
     "chklog" command.
     Add the System shutdown function when the CPU temperature exceeds its 
     limitation. When the CPU temperature exceeds its limitation, the system will automatically invoke the "shutdown" 
     command to power off the OS. For the OS default kernel, older than 2.4.20, does not support the ACPI mode 
     (e.g. RH 9.0), the OS will exit running, but the machine 
     will still power on, you must press power button to shut down the whole 
     system. Otherwise, customer can rebuild kernle to add the ACPI mode support, then the shut down command will 
     automatically power off the whole system. Please note that improper OS 
     shutdown may cause lost data. 
* About the CPU fan
     Add the system log function when the CPU fan stops caused by unstable 
     results. The system will automatically save the most recent results (including 
     the time of event and CPU fan ID) in the syslog file. To view the syslog file, 
     type the "chklog" command.
     Add the beep alert function when the CPU fan stops caused by unstable 
     results. The system will beep for a few seconds.
     Add the email alert function when the CPU fan stops caused by unstable 
     results. The system will send an alert email to the administrator. The user 
     may have provided the email address of the administrator and SMTP server 
     address when he installed the package. The user can also add, delete and 
     modify the email address and SMTP address using the "install-mailadd" 
     command.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
NOTE:  The lm-sensors driver (preinstalled in Linux systems by default) is 
used to access the reading data of the system fans. If you re-compile the 
kernel source, MSHD may not be activated. If this happens, make sure the 
lm-sensors driver of the kernel is enabled. 

1. Insert the HP Startup CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive of the HP ProLiant 
   ML150 server running Red Hat Linux 9.0 Professional, United Linux 1.0, 
   Red Flag Linux 4.0 Advanced Server, or Turbolinux 8 Server.
2. Run the terminal program. When the window displays, follow the 
   instructions to install MSHD:
   a. Mount the CD-ROM. 
      # mount /dev/hda /mnt
   b. Follow the instructions to copy the source package of MSHD 2.x, 
     mshd-2.0.i386.rh.rpm to a Linux PC.
      # cp /mnt/Utility/Mshd/V1.0/mshd-2.0.i386.rh.rpm /tmp 
        (for Red Hat Linux 9.0 Professional, Red Flag Linux 4.0 Advanced Server, 
        and Turbolinux 8 Server)
      # cp /mnt/Utility/Mshd/V1.0/mshd-2.0.i386.un.rpm /tmp 
        (for United Linux 1.0 V SCO Linux 4, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 
        and turbolinux enterprise server 8)
   c. After copying the source package, please install MSHD.
      # rpm Vi /tmp/mshd-2.0.i386.rh.rpm 
        (for Red Hat Linux 9.0 Professional, Red Flag Linux 4.0 Advanced Server, 
        and Turbolinux 8 Server)
      # rpm Vi /tmp/mshd-2.0.i386.un.rpm 
        (for United Linux 1.0 V SCO Linux 4, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8, 
        and turbolinux enterprise server 8)
3. Shut down and reboot the server. MSHD is ready to use.
