2. Verify that the service for HP SIM is running.Wait until you can browse to the Systems Insight
Manager home page (https:<FQDN of localhost>:50000).
3. Put the CD-ROM for installing the management server (Storage Essentials) in the CD-ROM drive
of the server running Storage Essentials.
4. Double-click SIMConnectorInstall.exe in the top-level directory.
5. Complete the installation by following the instructions on the screen. When specifying the HP
SIM server, supply the FQDN (fully qualified domain name). When specifying the administrative
user, use the domain\username format.
During the installation the HP SIM process is restarted on the Windows platform. On Linux the
HP SIM service must be manually restarted.
6. Wait until SIM is launched—and you can browse to the log in page.
7. Start the AppStorManager service (the service for Storage Essentials).
