HP Insight Management 7.2 Update 2 Installation and Upgrade Release Notes

This section contains notes that apply to upgrading Insight Management:
• During an upgrade, Matrix Operating Environment properties files from an earlier release are
replaced by new properties files for the 7.2 release. If you made any modifications or
customizations to the properties files, your changes are lost.
Suggested action: Before beginning an upgrade to Matrix Operating Environment 7.2, save
a copy of user-modified properties files or note any changes made to the files so that you can
insert those modifications into the new 7.2 versions of the files.
The following is a partial list of properties files that are commonly modified. Verify in your
environment if you have modified these files before beginning an upgrade, and if you have
modified them, save the files to a location that is not under the \Program Files\HP\
Virtual Server Environment directory tree.
◦ C:\Program Files\HP\Matrix infrastructure Orchestration\conf\
blade_models.properties
◦ C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\conf\esa.properties
◦ C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\conf\lsa\
hp_lsa_service.conf
◦ C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\conf\lsa\
lsa.properties
◦ C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\conf\lsa\
lsaclient.properties
◦ C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\conf\lsa\vc\
vcController.properties
◦ C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\conf\lsa\vmm\
vmmController.properties
◦ C:\Program Files\HP\Virtual Server Environment\conf\lsa\storage\
storageController.properties
After the upgrade has completed, but before the services are restarted or the CMS is rebooted,
edit the new properties files and add any custom entries made to the previous version of the
file.
• Upgrading HP Matrix infrastructure orchestration requires a manual step to upgrade Operations
Orchestration. This step is documented in the HP Insight Management 7.2 Installation and
Configuration Guide.
• If the currently installed version of Insight Remote Support Advanced software is lower than
Version A.05.70 on an existing HP SIM installation or you are intending to install HP SIM as
a new installation, you must install or update the Insight Remote Support Advanced software
to version A.05.70 or later to make it compatible with the HP SIM 7.2 installation.
Suggested action: The easiest way to upgrade directly to version A.05.70 is to install the latest
version available from the HP Software Depot, at the following website:
https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?
productNumber=RSADVANCED
Doing so will preserve your configuration details and avoid some of the manual steps required
to upgrade.
NOTE: HP Insight Remote Support Advanced installer supports upgrade to version 5.70
from both 5.50 and 5.60 versions. Ensure that Insight Remote Support Advanced is upgraded
to version 5.70 before installing HP Systems Insight Manager 7.2.
