HP Smart Array P410i controller - change mode from RAID to HBA mode

This is the easiest way I found to do this on i2 (and maybe i4/i6) bl860c i2 blades:

launch the efi shell

drivers

# in first column, find the driver that corresponds to Smart Array SAS Driver

# in my case it was A3

devices

# in first column, find the device, Smart Array P420i Controller

# in my case it was A1

drvcfg -s a3 a1

sometimes you get a "drvcfg: Driver image handle [A3] does not support Driver Configuration Protocol"

that is most likely the version of the EFI driver, v3.54 supports this, but at least v3.50 does not

ftp issue HPUX to windows

if you are transferring file from HPUX to windows and you get this error:
ftp R:ICMP port unreachable

the transfer says complete, but the file does not show up in windows.

it's likely the file you're transferring contains a colon (common with ignite archive image) or other character(s) that are permissible in Unix, but not windows

instead of banging your head on wall, changing terminal keyboard settings for function keys in putty or whatever, just do this:

press ESC followed by 8  That's HP genius equivalent to F8.

This is needed to create a logical drive or delete or change controller mode.

ERROR: Retrieving Ignite-UX version on the server: fully.qualied.domain

ERROR:   Retrieving Ignite-UX version on the server: fully.qualied.domain

FIX:

Add swacl for client and server:

client:

swacl -l root -M other:@ignite.server.fqdn:rt

Ignite server:

swacl -l root -M other:@client.hostname.fqdn:rt

ilo ssh -- Received disconnect from XXXX: 11: Client Disconnect

From an HPUX box, if you can't connect to an ilo / ilo2 and you get this: Received disconnect from XXXX: 11:  Client Disconnect

 

The fix is to either use putty or a linux host to ssh from, or use the following options:

 

ssh -o HostKeyAlgorithms=ssh-rsa,ssh-dss -o KexAlgorithms=diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -o Ciphers=aes128-cbc,3des-cbc -o MACs=hmac-md5,hmac-sha1 ILO_IP

ERROR: Retrieving Ignite-UX version on the server

Fix by:

swacl -l host -M 'any_other:-r--t'

swacl -l root -M 'any_other:-r--t'

 

then run make_recovery again.

Google Now on Tap doesn't turn on

if Google Now on Tap (Android Marshmallow or better) doesn't turn on or turns on, but quickly turns off, then you probably have an account on google apps.  Your domain administrator needs to do the following (referenced from:  https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/websearch/hLazcAVC5MA/0kV53XllqFkJ)

open admin console (admin.google.com), then choose Apps, then Additional Google services. Then disable filter "Top featured services" near the top half of the page. This is important (!). When you turn filter off you will see a long list of google services, you have to find "Web history" and turn it on.
