OpenView SNMP
Agent Produces Error
with Upgrade to
HP-UX 11i v1
Due to a preinstall script error, customers upgrading to
HP-UX 11i v1 may see the following error:
* [140184] Installing fileset
"OVSNMPAgent.MASTER,r=B.11.11" (54 of 1293).
* [20255] Running "postinstall" script for fileset
"OVSNMPAgent.MASTER".
* [20255] Running "preinstall" script for fileset
"OVSNMPAgent.SUBAGT-HPUNIX".
kill: 616: The specified process does not exist.
NOTE: You may need to restart SNMP agents.
The error is caused by the kill command trying to end a
process that is already terminated. When the
OVSNMPAgent.MASTER fileset is installed, it invokes a kill
command to terminate any existing SNMP agents. The next
fileset, OVSNMPAgent.SUBAGT-HPUNIX, also attempts to
terminate any SNMP Agent processes.
If you are migrating from HP-UX 10.20 or HP-UX 11.0 to
HP-UX 11i v1, you may receive this error message during the
installation of the OpenView SNMP bundle.
You can safely ignore this message.
