Small Steps (HPSE)

Finally starting to see a bit of success with HPSE. Not horrendously surprising that prior success had been limited, as the other testing environment had been rather broken. Today: finally sorted out how to get our CLARiiONs "seen" by HPSE. 

Dug through the logs and noticed an rpm invocation failure, at some point. As all of the agents are written in java and didn't have the decompilers necessary to see the source code, tried some things to force debug output. Not really much luck. However, in talking to the vendor, discovered that when their matrix says "supports versions X and Y" they mean it only supports those versions. The rpm failures may have been spurious, but, they may also have been indicating that the HPSE softare is ridiculously hard-coded about which packages it's looking for (woulda made Rain Man proud).

Oh well, at least at this point, we're seeing storage.
