NOTE: Oracle supports up to 5000 systems and 50,000 events.

NOTE: You must install the Oracle JDBC driver, version 11.2.0.4 for Oracle 11g R2. You

can download this driver from the Oracle website at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/

database/enterprise-edition/jdbc-112010-090769.html

NOTE: You must create the Oracle database with a Unicode character set of AL32UTF8

and a national character set of AL16UTF16 before you install HP SIM. The NLS length must

be set to BYTE. You must also specify the thin client .jar file location. Systems Insight Manager

requires Oracle database and TNS listener services to be running when the system is restarted.

Oracle by itself does not start the Oracle database and TNS listener automatically. An Oracle

DBA must set these services to be restarted when the server is reset. For information on how

to automatically start these services, see the Oracle documentation at http://www.oracle.com/

pls/db102/homepage. Access to this link requires registration. The Oracle DBA who manages

the Oracle installation must perform this task.
