Just found that HP makes various support tools for their servers available for a range of platforms here.
This includes ProLiant Support Pack tools packaged for Ubuntu:
hponcfg - RILOE II/iLo online configuration utility
hpacucli - HP Command Line Array Configuration Utility
cpqacuxe - HP Array Configuration Utility
hp-smh-templates - HP System Management Homepage Templates
hp-health - hp System Health Application and Command line Utility Package
hp-snmp-agents - Insight Management SNMP Agents for HP ProLiant Systems
All that is needed is to add the right URL to your apt software sources.
1. echo "deb http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/ProLiantSupportPack/ natty current/non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get install cpqacuxe hp-health hp-smh-templates hp-snmp-agents hpacucli hponcfg hpsmh
For different versions just change the URL in 1 (i.e karmic lucid maverick)
Unfortunately on 11.04 Natty amd64, the package hpsmh is reported as uninstallable. As this is a prerequisite for hp-smh-templates and cpqacuxe, these are also not able to install.

You can fix the “hpsmh” being uninstallable by downloading it manually from http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/ProLiantSupportPack/Ubuntu/pool/non-free/
I used the latest one and it installed on natty fine. When starting, it may say it can’t resolve the FQDN of the server and is using ${someip} instead. If you get this, make sure that in your /etc/hosts your hostname is listed as
“${hostip} ${hostfqdn} ${host}” rather than “${hostip} ${host} ${hostfqdn}” and restart smshd
