Keep the following in mind when installing the Device Manager agent in a Solaris 10 environment:
• Do not specify system zone settings.
• If the Device Manager agent (version 4.1- 5.1) was upgraded to 5.5 or later by an overwrite in-
stallation in an environment with the non-global zone specified, then it is installed in the global
and non-global zones. Because the agent is not required for the non-global zone, you can remove
it.
To remove the Device Manager agent from the non-global zone:
1. Log in to the non-global zone.
2. Execute the following command:
# pkgrm HDVMAgent

AIX prerequisites
Keep the following in mind when installing a Device Manager agent on AIX:
• Do not create a symbolic link for any of the directories below. If you have already created a
symbolic link by using any of the directories below, do not install the Device Manager agent.
• /usr
• All subdirectories under /usr/HDVM (including /usr/HDVM)
• All subdirectories under /var/HDVM (including /var/HDVM)
• /var
• All subdirectories under /var/HBaseAgent (including /var/HBaseAgent)
• /var/tmp
• When IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition V8 for AIX Runtime version 8.0.0.3 to 8.0.0.5 has been
applied, the overwrite installation of the Device Manager agent hangs if either of the following
conditions exists:
• The Dynamic Link Manager installed is from version 5.8 to earlier than version 5.9.
• The Device Manager agent installed is from version 5.0 to version 5.1.03.
When you use the Device Manager agent, upgrade IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition V8 for AIX
Runtime to version 8.0.0.6 or later, or apply the patch (APAR IY87291).
Before you install the Device Manager agent in AIX, verify the IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition
V8 for AIX Runtime version by entering:
# lslpp -L xlC.aix50.rte
• AIX includes the Stack Execution Disable (SED) function that protects systems from attacks that use
a buffer overflow. If the SED mode is set to all, change the mode before installing the Device
Manager agent by executing the following command:
# sedmgr -m {select|off|setidfiles}
