This release provides the following enhancement:
UnixOS has missing or wrong IP address and MAC for Network Interfaces: Discovery_UNIX sometimes does not show the correct IP address and/or MAC addresses for the network interfaces listed. With this hotfix, IP addresses and MAC addresses will be shown correctly for each network interface. Also, host information can be found in discovery tree view with additional information, like host name and Primary DNS name details. During application of this hotfix, if existing jobs are running using the old NIC information, the jobs restart since the NIC information changes. For policy jobs, they pick up the new information and run with those and generate new data streams if the streams use the same information. On the other hand, the ad hoc jobs are removed as the old information is removed, but the new information is not picked up automatically. (ENG349996)

The download package includes this Release Notes, a management guide, Help for Knowledge Scripts, and several files that are used during installation:
p81p17.zip, the patch file you install on any computers you want to monitor that have the UNIX agent 8.1.0.11 installed.
p82p3.zip, the patch file you install on any computers you want to monitor that have the UNIX agent 8.2 installed

When you download the module, these files are copied by default to the local folder on the download computer. Consider copying these files to the \windows_installation\setup\Setup Files folder on the same distribution computer on which you saved your main AppManager software and documentation. By doing so, you maintain all AppManager software in one location that is easily accessible when you want to add more repositories, management servers, or agents.
