- Uninstall any previously installed version of the
IBM Hardware Management Pack.
Uninstall Version 1.0 of the
IBM Hardware Management Pack before installing Version 2.0.
Both versions
can coexist, but should not be used interchangeably. Version 1.0 does not
detect all of the hardware components and events that Version 2.0 can detect.
It is possible that Version 1.0 might give you no indication of an error that
Version 2.0 can recognize.
Uninstall the earlier version to avoid any
such possible confusion.
