Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Cause

As the message above indicated, the trap configuration file that you are using for the trap exploder contains the indicated entries.
Once the trap configuration file is located, one should see within the file line entries such as:

<--------------------------START CONFLICT-------------------------------->
<--------------------------From Previous Install Base Version : 9.2.2.0 ---------------------------->
<Section of code or text from 9.2.2.0>
<--------------------------From Previous Install Local Install Version : 9.2.2.0 ---------------------------->
<Section of code or text from 9.2.2.0>
<--------------------------From New Install Base Version : 9.4.1.0 ----------------------------->
<Section of code or text from 9.4.1.0>
<--------------------------END CONFLICT---------------------------------->

Resolution

Remove the line entries from the trap configuration file.  Next time the domain is restarted the error message will not appear.
