Accessing online help before licenses are installed

You can access the Matrix OE online help before you have installed licenses on the

CMS by performing the following steps.

1. Select Help→For HP Systems Insight Manager from the top menu.

2. In your browser address bar (if enabled), change the URL from the first line to the

second line:

https://{CMS-FQDN}:50000/mxhelp/mxportal/en/help-welcome.html

https://{CMS-FQDN}:50000/mxhelp/vsemgmt/en/licenses.html

where {CMS-FQDN} is the fully qualified domain name of the CMS.

3. Press Enter to display the Matrix OE license management topic. From there, you

can select any of the help topics that apply to Matrix OE software. For help specific

to an individual component of Matrix OE, select the Related information topic and

choose one of the links in the section Help for related products.

Back up your existing CMS configuration before upgrading the software

HP recommends making a backup of your pre-7.3.1 environment before upgrading

the software. The upgrade process is not reversible. If, after you begin, you decide not

to complete the upgrade to Matrix OE 7.3.1, a backup copy of your pre-7.3.1

environment is required to restore your CMS to the pre-upgrade state.

IMPORTANT: After the upgrade process has successfully completed, you must also

perform a backup of the upgraded configuration to restore your environment to a known

good state in the event of a catastrophic failure. This is necessary to ensure that managed

resources, if they were changed by the CMS, will continue to be manageable if the

CMS ever needs to be restored from backup.

See the Backing up and restoring HP Insight Software Central Management Server

(Windows) white paper at Enterprise Information Library for detailed backup and restore

instructions.
