Some software products have dependencies or prerequisites that might not be available on your system. When installing software, the Management media installer attempts to handle any dependencies that are required. Also, most required software is provided with your Linux OS distribution media and should be installed by default.

If there is required software that is not delivered with the Management media installer or with the Linux OS installation, an error message displays information about the missing software packages or files and the installation process is aborted. You must then obtain and install the required packages or files before running the installer again. See your Linux OS for information about obtaining and installing the missing software. A list of software dependencies for all supported Linux distributions is provided in “HP Support Pack Dependencies”.

NOTE: The Management media installer automatically checks your system for the hpmgmtbase software. This software is installed or updated by default.

Removing OpenWBEM

If your system is running SLES9, OpenWBEM must be removed before OpenPegasus can be installed. OpenPegasus is required to install nPartition Commands, Partition Manager, and HP WBEM Providers. Removing OpenWBEM requires the removal of several other SLES utilities. You should verify that you do not need these utilities before you remove them. The HPIMA, ACU-CLI, and SMH utilities do not require OpenPegasus.

The installer prompts you to remove OpenWBEM if you choose to install any of the above packages that require OpenPegasus. You are first prompted to view more information about the package before removal, and then you are prompted to remove the OpenWBEM package from your system. At this point, you must decide whether to reply with confirm (to remove OpenWBEM and continue with the installation), or with n (to discontinue).

Installing BEA JRockit 5.0 JDK for the Linux IA64 Platform

Use this procedure to install the BEA JRockit 5.0 Java Development Kit (JDK) for the Linux IA64 Platform. Before installing HP Partition Manager, either manually or using the installation utility, you also must set the JAVA_HOME environment variable.

  1. If your system is running RHEL5U1, you must disable SELinux before installing the BEA JRockit 5.0 JDK. Otherwise, bypass this step.

    # echo 0 >/selinux/enforce

  2. Download the JRockit 5.0 R27.5 JDK Linux (Intel Itanium - 64-bit) file to the directory on the Linux system where HP Partition Manager, nPartition Commands, and nPartition Provider are to be installed from the BEA JRockit website:

    JRockit 5.0 R27.5 JDK Linux (Intel Itanium - 64-bit)

  3. Set execute permissions on the downloaded file:

    # chmod a+x jrockit-R27.5.0-jdk1.5.0_14-linux-ipf.bin

  4. Run the self-extracting binary to extract the RPM file:

    # ./jrockit-R27.5.0-jdk1.5.0_14-linux-ipf.bin

    NOTE: The initial "./" is required if you do not have "." (a period) in your PATH environment variable.

    The script displays a binary license agreement.

  5. You must agree to the BEA JRockit 5.0 JDK license agreement to proceed with the installation.

    NOTE: The default installation path is /root/jrockit-R27.5.0-jdk1.5.0_14, which can be modified during the installation process. A good location to install the JRockit 5.0 JDK is /usr/local/. Use this information when setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable in the next step.
  6. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable:

    # export JAVA_HOME="javaDir"

    where:

    javaDir

    is the directory in which the BEA JRockit 5.0 JDK files were installed. For example, if the BEA JRockit 5.0 JDK files are installed in /usr/local/ the javaDir would be /usr/local/.

    NOTE: The JAVA_HOME environment variable must be exported in this fashion prior to, and in the same shell session as, the use of the HP Support Pack installer.
  7. If your system is running RHEL5U1, you must re-enable SELinux. Otherwise, bypass this step.

    # echo 1 >/selinux/enforce
