HP Insight Control for Linux 7.0 Installation Guide

The Insight Control for Linux upgrade process saves user customizations to Insight Control for Linux
configuration files by renaming the files with a .rpmnew or .rpmsave file extension. The list of
.rpmnew or .rpmsave files is stored in the /opt/hp/icelx/logs/install_log file.
To retain your customizations to Insight Control for Linux configuration files by manually merging
the customizations into the newly delivered version of the file (which might have changed), follow
these steps:
1. Use the method of your choice to open and search the log file for Insight Control for Linux
configuration files with an .rpmsave or .rpmnew extension appended to them. These files
contain user customizations that were not merged into the corresponding files that are delivered
in this release.
The following example uses the grep command to search for the affected files:
# grep -E ".rpmsave|.rpmnew" /opt/hp/icelx/logs/install_log
2. Use the method of your choice (the diff command, for example) to determine differences
between your customized and the newly delivered current version of the files.
IMPORTANT: As software evolves, configuration file formats can change. Carefully compare
the original configuration files to the new files before integrating your changes.
3. Carefully copy customizations from the *.rpmsave version of the file into the new version of
the file.
As an example, the /opt/hptc/nagios/etc/nagios_vars.ini.rpmsave file contains
the previously customized contents, and you use that file to determine the customizations you
have to manually merge into the new version of the file, which is /opt/hptc/nagios/etc/
nagios_vars.ini.
8.4 Modifying files after the upgrade
Perform the following file maintenance tasks after the upgrade is complete:
1. Use a text editor to edit the /opt/mx/icle/icle.properties file. Make sure the value
for REPOSITORY_HTTP_IP is set to the IP address of the CMS,not 127.0.0.1.
2. Save your changes and exit the text editor.
3. Navigate to the following directory:
# cd /opt/mx/jboss/server/icle/work/jboss.web/localhost/taskservice/org/apache/jsp
4. Remove the following files (if they exist):
# rm autoInstallComplete_jsp.class autoInstallComplete_jsp.java
5. This step is optional. During an upgrade you will lose support for the operating systems that
were dropped from this release.
If you want to continue to install these unsupported operating systems, you must edit the /opt/
mx/icle/SupportMatrix.xml file and add the dropped operating system or systems to
this file.
See the HP Insight Control for Linux Release Notes for a list of deprecated operating systems.
8.5 Reinstalling new agents after the upgrade

from the Systems Insight Manager GUI:
