Transitioning from hpasm, hprsm, and cmanic packages
Before 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.
NOTE: If you have any local customizations to the /etc/hpasmrc file, save a copy of that file
before removing the hpasm component. After installing hp-snmp-agents, you can make the
same modifications to the /etc/hp-snmp-agents.conf file.
To determine whether these components are loaded, enter the command listed in the “To verify
installation” column in Table 11: Loaded components. To remove the component, enter the command
shown in the “To remove” column.

NOTE: Remove cmanic and hprsm components before removing hpasm because of driver
dependencies.

Updating drivers and agents
The following section provides information on updating the HP ProLiant Management Software for
Linux. Note that these instructions are appropriate only when you are upgrading from software
with a version later than 8.1.0. For information on transitioning from pre-8.1.0 versions, see
“Transitioning from hpasm, hprsm, and cmanic packages” on “Transitioning from hpasm, hprsm,
and cmanic packages” (page 20).
