we're running into the issue like SCOM agent version and OMS agent versions is different and SCOM monitoring is not working when the OMS agent scx-1.6.4-7.x86_64 is installed on the Linux box

If we try from SCOM discovery and configure the monitoring via SCOM console, it's trying to install the SCOM agent version scx-1.6.2-339.x86_64

Please let me know how to upgrade the SCOM agent to the version scx-1.6.4-7.x86_64

    SCOM 2019 UR1 supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, use the universal management pack to discover and monitor RHEL-8, follow the steps below:

    1. Install Operations Manager 2019 UR1 Server and Console patch.

    2. Import the following management packs from Microsoft System Center 2019 management pack for Unix and Linux Preview.msi:

    • Microsoft.Unix.Library.mp
