HP Insight Management 7.3 Installation and Configuration Guide

1. Before you stop the Insight Management services and back up your environment, quiesce the
Insight Management components. The following actions need to be performed only for
components that are installed and currently in use in your environment.
NOTE: The steps may vary slightly depending on the version of software installed on your
system. Refer to the product documentation for your release for additional information. For
an HP-UX CMS, perform steps Step 1.fand Step 1.g only.
a. Ensure that all in-progress Matrix recovery management jobs have completed. View the
status of Matrix recovery management jobs by selecting Tools→Matrix recovery
management from the top menu. Select the Jobs tab to view the status of jobs. A job with
an “in progress” icon in the Status column has not yet finished.
b. Ensure that all in-progress HP Matrix OE infrastructure orchestration requests have
completed. Requests pending approval and scheduled requests can remain scheduled.
However, if a request is scheduled to run during the upgrade process, defer the execution
of the request until the upgrade process is complete.
View the status of HP Matrix OE infrastructure orchestration requests by selecting
Tools→Matrix infrastructure orchestration… from the top menu. Select the Requests tab.
Click the End Date column name to sort the request list. Requests with an empty End Date
have not yet finished.
c. Ensure that all in-progress logical server jobs have completed. Logical server jobs that
are in-progress when the HP Logical Server Automation service stops will fail.
View the status of logical server jobs by selecting Tools→Matrix OE visualization… from
the top menu. From the lower, gray menu-bar, select Report→Logical Server Job Status....
Click the Percent Complete column to sort the list of jobs. Jobs less than 100% complete
are still in progress.
d. Ensure all in-progress Virtual Connect jobs have completed. View the status of Virtual
Connect jobs by selecting Tools→Integrated Consoles→Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager
(VCEM)… from the top menu. Select the Jobs tab to view the status of jobs. Click the End
Time column name to sort the job list. Jobs displaying an empty End Time have not yet
finished.
e. Ensure all in-progress Virtual Machine tasks have completed. View the status of Virtual
Machine tasks by selecting Tasks & Logs→View Task Results… from the top menu. Click
the End Time column name to sort the task list. Tasks displaying an empty End Time have
not yet finished.
f. Ensure all in-progress installation and configuration tasks have completed (for example,
Configure and Repair Agents tasks or Deploy Drivers, Firmware or Agents tasks). View
the status of the tasks by selecting Tasks & Logs→View Task Results… from the top menu.
Click the End Time column name to sort the task list. Tasks displaying an empty End Time
have not yet finished.
g. Optional: Issue the gwlm history --flush command to gather the latest historical
data from the gWLM agents. Skip this step if you are not using the CMS to manage
gWLM on Integrity servers.
h. Optional: HP recommends waiting for all actively running migrations to complete before
stopping the HP Insight Control server migration services. Migrations that are actively
running when the services stop will fail. These jobs will need to be resubmitted after
restarting the services. View the status of the currently running migrations by selecting
View Status/Logs tab in the server migration wizard.
If you have customized an application, workflow, or script to asynchronously issue Insight
Management requests, temporarily disable this functionality to avoid generating Insight
Management requests during the upgrade process.
