ERROR:    Installation of HPOvXpl failed."

Cause

The error occurs when the Security Enhanced Linux (SELinux) feature is installed and enabled.
To check if the feature has been enabled, user can run:
# /usr/sbin/sestatus
SELinux status:                 enabled
SELinuxfs mount:                /selinux
Current mode:                   enforcing
Mode from config file:          enforcing
Policy version:                 21
Policy from config file:        targeted
 

Fix

Definitive fix to avoid this problem hasn't yet released.
Following workaround will help to successfully install the agent:
Temporarily disable the SELinux feature through:
# /usr/sbin/setenforce 0
Proceed to install the agent, then re-enable the SELinux feature with:
# /usr/sbin/setenforce 1
