Suggested Action: No action necessary. This will be fixed in a future version.

HP SUM on Windows systems does not configure Linux components.
Suggested Action:
HP SUM reports incorrectly that a baseline was not deleted in Console mode
Suggested Action: No action necessary. This will be fixed in a future version. This occurs if the baseline
you are deleting is in the same directory as additional packages that are not in the baseline.
HP SUM does not assign the baseline for a node when added by IP range
Suggested Action: Edit the node after it has been added to assign the baseline. This will be resolved
in a future version.

work.
