If you have previous versions of Hardware Management Pack or Component Manager installed, you must remove these before installing the Oracle Hardware Management Pack components. For more information, refer to the documentation supplied with the version of Hardware Management Pack you have installed.
Different Hardware Management Pack components are supported by different servers and operating systems, so ensure that your target platform is supported by all of the components you intend to install. Before proceeding make sure that you have consulted the support matrix for the version that you plan to install. The support matrix is available at:

Depending on the target server's operating system, you should note the following:
Oracle Solaris operating system - For the Oracle Server Hardware SNMP Plugins to function correctly, you must have System Management Agent (SMA). SMA is installed by default on Oracle Solaris OS. For more information about SMA, see snmpd(1M). When installing Hardware Management Pack components, you must be in the global zone. On Oracle Solaris 10 biosconfig can only be installed on the global zone. The device /dev/bmc must be present on your system for the Hardware Management Agent to function correctly.
Linux based operating system - For the Oracle Server Hardware SNMP Plugins to function correctly, you must have Net-SNMP installed. For more information about Net-SNMP, see the snmpd documentation. The device /dev/ipmi# (where # is a digit) must be present on your system for the Hardware Management Agent to function correctly. You must also make sure that the IPMI interface between the Oracle server service processor and host operating system is enabled, and that the IPMI service is started. When using the Hardware Management Agent, you must ensure the root user has read/write access to the IPMI device in order for the Hardware Management Agent to function correctly.
Windows operating system - For the Oracle Server Hardware SNMP Plugins to function correctly, you must have an IPMI device installed and the SNMP service enabled. For more information about the IPMI devices available for your version of Windows, see your Windows product documentation.
