DESCRIPTION:  HP Insight Manager Agents provide server management
capabilities for VMware ESX Server 2.5.x installed on supported
server platforms.



Enhancements/Fixes:

- Disk Usage thresholds can now be set.
- The new install script supports upgrade from older versions of the HP Insight Manager Agents
- An issue with the agents has been fixed, wherein the 'vmnic' status is propogated correctly to the HP Systems Insight Manager(HP SIM) 


Notes:

1. Any device assigned to the service console must not share its legacy IRQ
with the iLO controller.

ProLiant DL585: By default the service console NIC and the iLO controller
	        share an IRQ.  Assign the 2nd on-board NIC to the service
	        console instead.
ProLiant DL740: The USB and iLO controllers, share IRQs.  Consider moving
	        the iLO controller to IRQ 12
Other ProLiant Servers may have similar conflicts.  If you experience problems
installing or starting the Lights-Out agents (hprsm) check for IRQ conflicts.
IRQ reassignments can be made in the RBSU. 

2. The Random Number Generator problem associated with the System Management Homepage being unresponsive has been fixed in VMware ESX Server 2.5.2.



For ESX Server 2.5:
--Please install Upgrade Patch 2 before installing this package

--The management agents may not detect MSA1000 or MSA1500 when using version 
  6.07 of the QLogic driver packaged with ESX Server 2.5.  Please upgrade to
  version 2.5.1 or later


HOW TO USE:

Login as the system administrator (root), download the package to a
directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. Unpack
the contents of the package by typing:

tar -zxvf hpmgmt-7.4.0b-vmware.tgz

This will create two new directories (/hpmgmt/740b) under your current
directory.  Change to the new ./hpmgmt/740b directory and view the 
README file for installation instructions.
