Environment

NetIQ Security Manager for UNIX 7.2
NetIQ AppManager for Unix
NetIQ Secure Configuration Manager for Unix

Situation

If you don't have a required operating system patch, you will get a warning message during installation. However, you might have a patch that supercedes the required patch. If that's the case, you can download an updated check_requirements.sh file from your product download page, or you can update it yourself.

Resolution

By default, the check_requirements.sh file is in the C:\Program Files\NetIQ\UNIX Agent Manager\deploy on the computer where UNIX Agent Manager is installed.

 

To update the file, add the new patch to the beginning of the applicable line. For example, on HP-UX 11i, if you installed patch PHKL_45827 which superceded PHKL_41709, you would edit the section of the file that lists the required HP 11i patches so that it looks like this:

 

#Required HPUX Packages for running the VigilEntAgent on 11.11 - See ENG309500
