Known Problems and Limitations
Due to problems in previous releases of the HP Integrity Foundation Pack for Linux, the upgrade
option of the RPM package manager does not operate correctly so the rpm -U upgrade command
cannot be used when installing the HP WBEM Providers from the command line. You must
completely remove each individual previous version (or RPM) of the providers before installing
new versions as described in Step 1 of the “Installing using the Command Line” (page 10) section.
This does not affect installing the providers using the HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack
for Linux installer as described in Chapter 5, of the HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack for
Linux User's Guide:
