Preparing the System




	NOTE: The "\" at the end of each command line represents that the rest of the command is on the next line. These steps are for a clean installation of HP SIM on your HP-UX 11i system. If a previous version HP SIM or HP Servicecontrol Manager is installed on your system and you want to upgrade your data, refer to Chapter 8 “Upgrading HP SIM 4.x to HP SIM 5.0 ” or Chapter 7 “Upgrading from HP Servicecontrol Manager to HP Systems Insight Manager” for more information on upgrade.

This procedure verifies that your system meets the minimum requirements and prepares your system for installation. Refer to “System requirements” for details.
