HPE SGI Management Suite - HPE Update Server Setup

Oct.2019 Update: HPE SGI Management Suite patches are moving to a more secure system, update1.linux.hpe.com, which requires both an email and a token for access. As new products are released, patches for those products will be released to the new server; patches for older releases will be available at the new location as well as at the current locations at download.linux.hpe.com.

HPE SGI Management Suite efficiently deploys and manages the HPE SGI 8600 System, and legacy SGI x86_64 ICE and flat clusters with one comprehensive toolset. The software offers an array of features, including the ability to initiate management actions, monitor essential system metrics and improve overall power efficiency. By combining the discovery of nodes and multicast technology you can significantly shorten the time required to complete bare-metal provisioning for the HPE SGI 8600 System. The HPE SGI Management Suite reduces the time and resources spent administering systems by improving software maintenance procedures and automating repetitive tasks — lowering total cost of ownership, increasing productivity and providing a better return on hardware investments.

URL Encoded Emails

In order for the yum and zypper to pass the correct email address to the authentication protocols on the Software Delivery Repository, email addresses in the *.repo files must be URL encoded. For most email addresses, changing the "@" to "%40" is sufficient. For instance, "john.smith@company.com" would be entered as "john.smith%40company.com" in the *.repo file. You may use the URL encoded values from the list below or use an online tool like URL Decode and Encode to help encode your email address.

    @ = %40      & = %26      / = %2F      ` = %60      space = %20
    ! = %21      ' = %27      = = %3D      { = %7B      , = %2C
    # = %23      * = %2A      ? = %3F      | = %7C      . = .
    $ = %24      + = %2B      ^ = %5E      } = %7D
    % = %25      - = -        _ = _        ~ = ~
