When you install a Support Pack, you can streamline the update process by using the
Install
option to install the updated RPM for each agent. Typically, you do not need to use the
Configure
option after installing updated agent software, if the agent configuration has not
changed since the previous installation. If you encounter a problem starting the updated agent,
use the
Configure
option to update the configuration information for the agent.
