This patch is required for HP-UX, version 10.20, if you use the

pass-thru driver, spt0, into the kernel.

Known Problems and Workarounds
The following are known problems with the HA Monitors product, or
with Event Monitoring Service:
opcmsg protocol
• What is the problem? The opcmsg protocol for communicating with
IT/Operations is supported for managed nodes running HP-UX 10.20
only. The agent that sends opcmsg messages between IT/Operations
and managed nodes is not yet available on HP-UX 11.00.
• What is the workaround? If you want to use opcmsg notification, you
must do it on a node running HP-UX 10.20.
