Selecting whether to update or replace the
existing management pack
When importing the HP Management Packs 1.3 for
MOM 2005, you must decide between the following two options if
previous versions of the HP Management Packs for MOM 2005 are
installed.
Replace existing Management PackPrevious
versions of the management pack are removed from the MOM database
and the new management pack structure is installed. Replacing the
management pack might remove Company Knowledge information and HP
Integrity Base Hardware Event rules from the database. To retain
this information, select the Update
existing Management Pack option.
Update existing Management PackPrevious
versions of the management pack merge with the new management pack.
In the HP Management Packs 1.3 for MOM 2005, the tooltip
information on HP server icons in the Server Diagram view displays
the HP Insight Agents Version information twice. To remove the
duplicate data, import the HP Management Packs 1.3 for MOM 2005
again by selecting the Replace
existing Management Pack option.
Regardless of the option selected, HP
recommends backing up the existing management packs so they can be
restored, if necessary. See the "Importing the Management Pack"
