Install the Software on the CMS

Procedure 3-6 Install or Upgrade HP SIM and VSE Management Software

1. Enter the following command on the CMS:

   # /usr/sbin/swinstall -x autoreboot=true \ -s path-to-depot-file HPSIM-HP-UX VSEMgmt

   	IMPORTANT: The system reboots after the installation.

   The actions that occur after system reboot depend on whether this is a new installation of HP SIM or an upgrade to an existing HP SIM installation.

   New installation of HP SIM

   Configure HP SIM by entering the following command on the CMS:

   # mxinitconfig -a

   Upgrade of an existing installation of HP SIM

   The system automatically runs mxinitconfig after the reboot. This can take up to 20 minutes to complete. Do not attempt to run any HP SIM commands or VSE management commands, or access HP SIM through the web interface at this time.

   Other steps might be required to complete the HP SIM upgrade. For example, you might need to reidentify all discovered systems to complete the database upgrade for existing systems in the database.

2. (optional) If Oracle version 10g is installed on a server in your environment, you can configure HP SIM and the VSE Management Software to use an Oracle database instead of the defaultPostgreSQL database for internal data management. For specific requirements for using Oracle with the VSE Management Software, see HP Insight Dynamics — VSE and HP VSE Management Software Version 4.1 Support Matrix.

   To configure HP SIM for Oracle, use the following steps:

   1. Ensure that Oracle 10g is installed and running on the Oracle server.

   2. Copy the file ojdbc14.jar from your Oracle 10g server to a location on your CMS.

      	NOTE: Do not rename this file. It must be named ojdbc14.jar when it is installed by mxoracleconfig in the next step.

   3. Configure HP SIM by entering the following command on the CMS:

      # mxoracleconfig [-h hostname] [-n port-number] \ -d database-name -u username -p password \ -j path-to-jar-file/ojdbc14.jar [-f]

      For details about the mxoracleconfig command, see mxoracleconfig(1M).

   4. Reinitialize HP SIM by entering the following command on the CMS:

      # mxinitconfig -a

3. Configure the VSE Management Software by entering the following command:

   # /opt/vse/bin/vseinitconfig -a

   The vseinitconfig command logs status, errors, and exceptions to the file /var/opt/vse/logs/vseinitconfig.log. Review the output of this command to ensure there are no errors.

   	IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from a previous version of the VSE Management Software, the vseinitconfig command migrates any product licenses that were previously installed or scanned to the HP SIM License Manager database. Review the licensing information in the log file to make sure that it is correct. You may need to adjust the number of licensed cores using the vselicense command. For more information about migrating previous licenses to the new license model, see vselicense(1M) and the HP Insight Dynamics — VSE and HP VSE Management Software 4.1 Getting Started Guide.

4. When vseinitconfig finishes, you are prompted to restart HP SIM. Type “y” and press Enter to restart HP SIM.

5. (Optional) Execute the command catman to make sure that the VSE Management Software manpages can be listed by keyword using man -k.

Procedure 3-7 Install VSE Management Software Using Existing Installation of HP SIM

1. Enter the following command on the CMS:

   # /usr/sbin/swinstall -x autoreboot=true \ -s path-to-depot-file VSEMgmt

2. Configure the VSE Management Software by entering the following command:

   # /opt/vse/bin/vseinitconfig -a

   The vseinitconfig command logs status, errors, and exceptions to the file /var/opt/vse/logs/vseinitconfig.log. Review the output of this command to ensure there are no errors.

   	IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading from a previous version of the VSE Management Software, the vseinitconfig command migrates any product licenses that were previously installed or scanned to the HP SIM License Manager database. Review the licensing information in the log file to make sure that it is correct. You may need to adjust the number of licensed cores using the vselicense command. For more information about migrating previous licenses to the new license model, see vselicense(1M) and the HP Insight Dynamics — VSE and HP VSE Management Software 4.1 Getting Started Guide.
