1 Oracle Hardware Management Pack Installation Overview

Oracle Hardware Management Pack includes a rich set of command line interface tools and agents that are run from your host operating system to configure and monitor server hardware. For information on operating system and server support for each Oracle Hardware Management Pack component, refer to the support matrix available at https://www.oracle.com/goto/ohmp.

The Oracle Hardware Management Pack download package available from My Oracle Support (MOS) includes support for select versions of Linux and Oracle Solaris operating systems. A cross-platform installer is available for all components. Note the following:

  • Beginning with Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.4, support for the Microsoft Windows operating system is no longer available.

  • Beginning with Oracle Hardware Management Pack 2.4.7, Oracle Solaris 11 and 11.1 support is no longer available. Oracle Solaris 10 is still supported.
