DESCRIPTION:  HP Systems Insight Manager 4.2 Update 2 for Linux

   This softpaq updates "HP Systems Insight Manager 4.2 with Update 1" with
   the following fixes:
     - Replaced the 7.3 postgreSQL JDBC driver with the 7.4 version.  This
       is required for the global Work Load Manager (gWLM) product to work with Systems Insight Manager.

   This softpaq also includes the following fixes which are in HP Systems 
   Insight Manager 4.2 with Update 1.  These will be installed if "Update 1" 
   is not already installed:
     - Fixed problems with HP BladeSystem blade/enclosure/rack associations. 
       In some cases extra racks were appearing based on the correct
       rack name but with portions of the serial number appended (for example,
       "ENCL--EA-JK-LJ--".)  Most of the enclosures and blades would be associated
       with the improperly named rack.  There was also the potential to have 
       racks named "unknown".  Note that after this patch, any unknown or incorrect
       enclosures and racks can be deleted.
     - Fixed problem with email or pager messages sometimes being sent for 
       old events while an Automatic Discovery was running. Note, this 
       applies to any automatic event handling task that used system type as 
       one of the filters.
     - Fixed problems with device-specific WBEM credentials not being
       used if they were provided.
     - Fixed problem with ignoring the "Use global defaults" setting under 
       "Ping (ICMP) Settings" on the "System Protocol Settings" page.
     - Fixed problem with device showing same IP address multiple times.
     - Fixed a problem with importing a certificate into HP System Insight Manager
       that specified the Domain Component field in the subject field of 
       the certificate response.
     - Fixed problem with scaling of "File System Size" and "File System
       in Use" to scale with 1024*1024 instead of 1000*1000 to show megabytes.
     - Modified the "Tools/System Management Homepage" menu item to qualify on
       presence of the System Management Homepage on the target system, rather
       than on the operating system of the target system.
     - Modified the mxnodesecurity executable to disable display of credentials
       used by "Configure or Repair Agent Settings".
     - Fixed a SOAP call used for internal application integration.  This fix
       is required to properly support Rapid Deployment Pack version 2.0.
     - Fixed a problem with the status of "My Favorites" folders not always
       reflecting the proper status when multiple users were monitoring the 
       same folders.
     - Updated postgreSQL JDBC driver on Linux to version 7.4.1.   HP-UX
       was already using this driver.
