Situation
Which plug-ins are dependent on other plug-ins being
installed?
Resolution
With the new feature in iManager 2.6 allowing you to select
plug-ins to download and install, users should pay attention to the
description of the plug-ins in order to verify that a plug-in and
all it's dependencies are also installed and updated at the same
time. If a plug-in is installed with out another dependent
plug-in, you risk problems with the plug-in functioning
properly. The following is a list of all plug-ins that are
dependent on other plug-ins along with the description of the
plug-in that shows up when you are on the "Available Plug-ins" page
in iManager 2.6.

NOTE: The NPM dependencies for NSS, ARK, and
NCS and the storage-related plug-ins contained therein are
documented in the NSS Administration Guide: Novell
iManager and Storage-Related Plug-Ins.
Specifically, the documentation states: "These plug-ins share code in common in the storagemgmt.npm file. If you use more than one of these plug-ins, you should install, update, or remove them all at the same time to make sure the common code works for all plug-ins. If you remove only one of the plug-ins, it removes the common code and breaks the remaining installed plug-ins."
