1. If you have not yet installed ESX Server 2.5.2, install it.
2. Run vmkblkopen.pl from the command line.
3. Install HP Insight Manager.

If you have already installed HP Insight Manager and you are upgrading to ESX Server 2.5.2:

1. Log on as root (or an equivalent superuser login) and check the run level of each Insight Manager agent (such as hpasm, hprsm, hpsmhd, and cmanic):
   # /sbin/chkconfig --list agent
   For example:
   /sbin/chkconfig --list hpasm
2. Deactivate each agent that chkconfig --list indicates is active (on):
   # /sbin/chkconfig agent off
   For example:
   # /sbin/chkconfig hpasm off
3. Once you have deactivated all of your HP Insight Manager agents, you can install your ESX Server 2.5.2 upgrade.
4. After the upgrade, reboot.
5. Reactivate the service and the Insight Manager agents:
   # /sbin/chkconfig vmkblk reset
   # /sbin/service vmkblk start
   
6. Reactivate the agents you deactivated, using chkconfig:
   # /sbin/chkconfig agent reset
   For example:
   # /sbin/chkconfig hpasm reset
