EMS checkinstall Script Fails When Updating From
HP-UX 11.0 to HP-UX 11i v1
During an update from HP-UX 11.0 to HP-UX 11i v1, you may encounter
the following warning message:
* [20255] Running "checkinstall" script for fileset
"EMS-Core.EMS-CORE".

How Do You Know
if This Affects You
You will encounter this warning if EMS was not installed on your HP-UX
11.0 system. The /etc/opt/resmon/monitors/ems_sys_update flag file
is required to ensure that earlier versions of the EMS p_client do not
attempt to link to newer EMS libraries during an update, causing a core
dump.
What To Do You can safely disregard the warning.
EMS May Fail on IPv4 Systems
The latest release of EMS (A.04.00) has been enabled to support IPv6 on
HP-UX 11i v1. The EMS client may fail or produce a core dump if you
attempt to run on an IPv4 system.
