Until an updated package is available use the following workaround: o Use the existing Software Distribution directions, but only when upgrading existing 3.1 or 3.1.1 Director Agent machines to 4.1 o This method will allow the install to complete normally. Because of limitations of the local system account not all old drivers will be properly removed from the Device Manager. If after you upgrade your agent there are undefined devices they can be ignored or deleted. This issue will be resolved in a future release of the software package. 4.0 CORRECTIONS TO THE PUBLICATION None. 5.0 CHANGE HISTORY o IBM Director Agent Plus Module for Tivoli Enterprise(TM) Framework 3.1 to 4.1 o IBM Director Agent Plus Module for Tivoli Enterprise Framework 1.3 to 3.1 - Added support for Framework 3.7.1, Inventory 4.0, Distributed Monitoring 3.7, and Tivoli Enterprise Console 4.0 - Added support for Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP. o IBM Director Agent Plus Module for Tivoli Enterprise Framework 1.2 to 1.3 - Corrected the following files to support ServeRAID(TM) SNMP traps: o UMStecad_snmp.baroc o UMStecad_snmp.cds o UMStecad_snmp.oid - Removed unnecessary options from the installation window. - Corrected the uninstallation option. - Added support for native Tivoli Enterprise Console events. o IBM Director Agent Plus Module for Tivoli Enterprise Framework 1.11 to 1.2 - Corrected the installation status report from an IBM Director Agent remote installation to Software Distribution on Windows 95 and Windows 98 endpoints. - Corrected the file UMStecad_snmp.baroc to correctly label Netfinity(R) Director traps in the Tivoli Enterprise Console. - Corrected the reboot (restart) option for the IBM Director Agent file package to Windows 95 and Windows 98 endpoints. o IBM Director Agent Plus Module for Tivoli Enterprise Framework 1.10 to 1.11 - Corrected the inventory to Oracle database. - Added support for receiving Tivoli Enterprise Console events from Netfinity Director SNMP traps. - Added Geographic information to inventory. - Added System slots, DMI, and Alert on LAN(TM) settings to inventory. - Added Asset ID(TM), BIOS details, SNMP agent configuration to inventory. 6.0 SUPPORT WEB SITES The following Web pages provide resources for understanding, using, and troubleshooting IBM Director and systems-management tools. o IBM Online Assistant and e-Mail http://www.ibm.com/pc/qtechinfo/MIGR-4Z7HJX.html This Web page offers a quick resource to help solve your technical questions.
