Error description

  When -m is used this fails with the error
  
  Execution terminating with error code 7. ./ConfigOMNI[633]:
  /opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/install/nco_patch:
  not found [No such file or directory]
  
  the problem is that 8.1 NOI objectserver has neither
  of these installation mechanisms.  It's not COI and too new for
  the preinstallation method.
  
    Report "Installing probe $MTTRAPD_PROBE_PACKAGE"
  
     if [ -d COI ]; then
         echo "LICENSE_ACCEPTED=true" >$TMP/probe_response.txt
         echo "PROBE_OR_GATE_LOCATION=$PWD"
  >>$TMP/probe_response.txt

     else

  ===============
  
  here is the NOI doc it is correct to not use -m
  
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSTPTP_1.3.0/com.i

  pt.html?cp=SSTPTP_1.3.0%2F2-1-7-2&lang=en
  
  And here is the ITNM doc where we talk about using -m
  
  http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSHRK_3.9.0/com.i
  bm.networkmanagerip.doc_3.9/itnm/ip/wip/install/reference/nmip_i

  okay I'm done!
  

Local fix

• must use imcl and install -m mttrapd locally on objectserver.

Problem conclusion

• Doc updated!
  
  -m package
  Optional. Install the SNMP Probe from this package. You must
  specify the path to the package if it is not in the current
  directory.
  Important: If you are configuring Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus V8.1 or
  higher, you must not run this script with the -m option. You
  must use IBM Installation Manager to install the SNMP Probe
  locally. See the information on Installing probes in the IBM
  Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus SNMP Probe documentation on IBM Knowledge
  Center.
