[smartmontools-support] Disable/uninstall the smart monitor tool

[Chen, J. J. \(Jackey\) <jac...@al...>]

Hello all,

 

I have a question and I hope someone can provide me the definite answer. I
tried to contact the vendor HP but they said the smart monitor tool is not
their product so they cannot confirm it for me.

 

The question is - Is there any negative impact to the server after disabling
or uninstalling the smart monitor tool?

 

I would think NO, but again I need an expert's confirmation.

 

It is a HP Proliant DL380 server running Red Hat Linux.

Thanks,
