#HP #IMC v5.1 upgrade tip

Hey
If you are about to upgrade your IMC to v5.1.  One thing to point out... if you have QOS Policy Manager... the sub-component SLA Manager has not been upgraded to v5.1 yet.  It will not be out until v5.1 SP1 due out in the next quarter.  So...to do the upgrade, you need to deinstall the SLA Manager.

Our install manager in IMC is very smart and it wont let you startup IMC unless all of the software dependencies are met.
