Removing agents when using Solaris 10
If the Device Manager agent (version 4.1- 5.1) was upgraded to 5.5 or later by an overwrite installation
in an environment with the non-global zone specified, it is installed in the global and non-global
zones. Since the agent is not required for the non-global zone, you can remove it.
To remove the Device Manager agent from the non-global zone:
1. Log in to the non-global zone.
2. Execute # pkgrm HDVMAgent

AIX prerequisites
Do not install Device Manager agents in AIX environments when symbolic links exist for the following
directories:
• /usr
• /usr/HDVM and its subdirectories
• /var/HDVM and its subdirectories
• /var
• /var/HBaseAgent and its subdirectories
• /var/tmp
• When IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition V8 for AIX Runtime version 8.0.0.3 to 8.0.0.5 is applied,
the overwrite installation of the Device Manager agent hangs if either:
• the Hitachi Dynamic Link Manager installed is version 5.8 through 5.9
• the Device Manager agent installed is version 5.0 - 5.1.03
When you use the Device Manager agent, upgrade IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition V8 for AIX
Runtime to version 8.0.0.6 or later, or apply the APAR IY87291 patch.
Before you install the Device Manager agent in AIX, verify the IBM XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition
V8 for AIX Runtime version by running # lslpp -L xlC.aix50.rte
• AIX includes the Stack Execution Disable (SED) function that protects systems from attacks that use
a buffer overflow. If the SED mode is set to all, change the mode before installing the Device
Manager agent by running # sedmgr -m {select|off|setidfiles}
NOTE:
To return the SED mode to all after installing the Device Manager agent, exclude the Java process
used by the Device Manager agent from the SED protection targets. For details, see the HP P9000
Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide .
