Some Insight Management Agents Kits May Prevent V5.1B-5 or Higher Installation (revised)
Under certain conditions, you will be prevented from installing Version 5.1B-5 or higher if you
are running HP Tru64 UNIX Insight Management Agents Version 3.1 or higher or had a version
of the kit previously installed. Those conditions are as follows:
• Your system contains a pre-Version 5.1B-5 or higher kit and the Insight Management Agents
kit.
In this case, upgrading to this kit gives the following error message:
Patch 29020.00 - SP07 OSFCLINET540 (SSRT5971 SSRT3653 SSRT2384 ...)
./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-5 or higher gives the following error message:
Patch 29020.00 - SP07 OSFCLINET540 (SSRT5971 SSRT3653 SSRT2384 ...)
./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 you will need to run the dupatch baseline process before installing
Version 5.1B-5 or higher. The following steps will guide you through the process:
