CAUTION: HP strongly discourages the use of the HP Management Packs (IMP) for MOM
2000 or MOM 2005 Management Packs in an Operations Manager 2007 environment. The
new HP Server Management Packs for ProLiant and Integrity servers have been specifically
developed to take advantage of the redesigned architecture and new features provided with
Operations Manager 2007. Installing the HP Management Packs for MOM 2000 or MOM
2005 Management Packs in an Operations Manager 2007 environment might lead to
duplicate event entries and groups.
