Unfortuantely, you have to use hp-OpenIPMI for management of the new
iLO2 based systems (360/380 G5).
I don't have a system handy to test this on, but I've dissected the RPM
mentioned, and it *attempts* to clean up after itself - look in the
hp-OpenIPMI.mk in /opt/hp/hp-OpenIPMI <rant>(which gets copied to just
Makefile in %post - ARRRRGGGGHHHH! Don't vendors understand what RPM is
*for*???)</rant>.
