Managing ProLiant servers with Linux HOWTO

2-2 Uninstalling drivers and agents

There are two options for preventing the drivers and agents from running, uninstalling, and starting or

stopping drivers. For information on uninstalling or unloading drivers or agents, see “Starting and

stopping agents and services” on page 17.

Table 8 lists the commands for uninstalling the entire contents of the hpasm, hprsm, and cmanic

packages.

Table 8. Uninstall drivers and agents commands

Uninstall Command Description

# rpm –e hp-snmp-agents

# rpm –e hp-ilo

Removes the hp-ilo package from your system

# rpm –e hp-health

Removes the hp-health package from your system

# rpm –e hp-OpenIPMI

Caution:

If a service is running when the corresponding package is removed, it is

automatically shut down during the removal process.

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.

Note:

If you have any local customizations to the /etc/hpasmrc file, save a copy

of that file before removing the hpasm component. After hp-snmp-agents

has been installed, you can make the same modifications to the file

/etc/hp-snmp-agents.conf.

To determine if these components are loaded, enter the command listed in the To verify installation

column in Table 9. To remove the component, enter the command shown in the To remove column.
