2-3 Transitioning from hpasm, hprsm, and cmanic packages

Prior to the 8.1.0 release, the functionality and files provided by hp-health and hp-snmp-agents were

distributed in alternate packages.

If you have a version of the HP System Health Application and Insight Management Agent (hpasm), the

HP Lights-Out Drivers and Agents (hprsm), or the NIC Agents (cmanic) installed, you must uninstall these

components before installing the new RPM files.
