//ntserv3/Install/HP Servers

There is two files one is the tgz file and the other is a gpg footprint ` gpg --print-md sha512 hp-insightmanager+tools.tgz If you do this hp-insightmanager+tools.tgz: 1AAD552B 72AA0EBE C29CEDB7 46BB3A5F 3AF620E1 1A2F769B 895D14C9 EED56228 33A99EBF 8D0FB9FF 47AB60E7 C3285E32 ED4863E4 78BEE052 D21E563C 44FCB06B and get that then its ok to install and use
