The HP Systems Insight Manager Setup window appears. The Setup window displays links to the following documentation:

Click Install to start the install process.

Note: The administrative account used to install HP SIM will be the initial login account.

The HP Systems Insight Manager Setup "Installation status" window appears with the following three stages:

The HP Systems Insight Manager Installer window appears. Click Install to begin.

The Select Installation Type window appears, click Typical to install the included components with minimal user interaction listed under the Available Components for Install.

Note: If a component is not listed as being available for installation on the CMS, then the HP SIM install shell has determined one of the following:

If the component that is present on the CMS is an older version than what is bundled with the HP SIM install shell and it supports an in-place upgrade, it will appear in the component list.

	NOTE: SSH Server and Version Control Repository Manager components will not be listed if they were installed in version 4.0. If you choose not to install or upgrade a component during the upgrade of HP Systems Insight Manager, you can re-run the setup.exe and at that time select the components that are to be installed or upgraded.

The Typical Install - Service Account Credentials window appears. The Domain and Username fields will default to the installing account credentials and these cannot be edited. Enter the Password for this account. Click Next.

The Typical Install - Database Configuration window appears. Enter the Account Credentials for the database server. The installing user account will be pre-populated in the 'Username' field and this cannot be edited. The 'Host' field will pre-populate with the local host name but this can be edited. If using a local SQL Server or MSDE provide the password for the installing user and click Next to proceed. Typical install requires the installing user account to exist on the remote Database server. If your database is not local then you must supply the Database Server name and the password. Click Next.

Note:HP SIM does not support the following in a user name and password:

If you use these characters in your user name or password, the HP SIM database initialization fails.

Note: In case of a reboot, if you just installed MSDE, the administrative credentials are those you used to log in before installing MSDE. Windows authentication is required to connect to the SQL server (whether locally or remotely). In addition, these credentials will also be your HP SIM administrative user login credentials. Any account that is a member of the administrator group will have administrator rights to MSDE. The local security policy will be modified to give you the following rights: log on as a service, create a token object, and replace a process level token. In addition, for Windows XP SP2, Windows 2003 SP1 or later, Component Object Model (COM) security will be updated to allow remote access and activation by everyone and anonymous users.

The Typical Install-Software Selection window appears. This window displays the complete list of the available components with a checkbox next to each one. If the checkbox is disabled and has a check, the component is deemed a mandatory component and cannot be deselected. All the components that are under the Typical Install column of the Select Installation Type window should have disabled checkboxes. The amount of required disk space is also listed for each component. Click Next to check if enough disk space exists for the selected components, and if enough exists, the Typical Install – Summary window appears.

On the Typical Install - Summary window, select Install to initiate the installation process. This process installs all the products listed in the Selected Components table.

The Typical Install - Status window appears. As each componet is being installed, it will state "In Progress" beside the component's name. After the component has installed, it will state "Installed Successfully". When all of the HP SIM components have been installed, the HP Systems Insight Manager Installation Information window appears. This window has links for the Version Control Installation Guide, to help you configure Version Control and the System Management Homepage. Click a link to view the Version Control Installation guide or click OK and the Typical Install - Status window appears again. After all components have been installed they will have an installed status. The HP Systems Insight Manager Installation Information status states "Success". Click Finished. This completes the Typical Installation.
