Some Insight Management Agents Kits Might Prevent V5.1B-4 Installation
Under certain conditions, you will be prevented from installing Version 5.1B-4 if you are running
HP Insight Management Agents Version 3.1 or higher or a version of the kit was previously
installed. Those conditions are as follows:
• Your system contains a pre-Version 5.1B-4 kit and the Insight Management Agents kit.
In this case, upgrading to this kit gives the following error message:
Patch 26020.00 - SP04 OSFCLINET540 (SSRT3653 SSRT2384 SSRT2275 ...)
./sbin/init.d/snmpd: its origin can not be identified.
This patch will not be installed.
• Your system contains Patch Kit 2, Patch Kit 3, or Patch Kit 4 and the Insight Management
Agents kit was once installed but has since been removed.
In this case, upgrading to Version 5.1B-4 gives the following error message:
Patch 26020.00 - SP04 OSFCLINET540 (SSRT3653 SSRT2384 SSRT2275...)
./etc/pmgrd_iorate.config: does not exist on your system,
however, it is in the inventory of installed subsets.
This patch will not be installed.
To work around this problem, run the dupatch baseline process before installing Version 5.1B-4.
