HP Systems Insight Manager 5.2 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

8 Upgrading from HP Servicecontrol Manager to HP Systems

Insight Manager

To upgrade SCM 3.0 to HP SIM 5.x, SCM must be upgraded to HP SIM 4.2 first. Perform the steps in this

chapter, then perform the steps in "Upgrading HP Systems Insight Manager 4.x to HP Systems Insight Manager

5.x." This upgrade installs the HP SIM 4.2 files and migrates your HP Servicecontrol Manager (SCM) data

to be compatible with HP SIM 4.2. The upgrade installation migrates all custom data including:

• Users

• Systems

• System groups

• Tools

• Toolboxes

• Authorizations

HP SCM and HP SIM cannot coexist on the same system.

NOTE: Before upgrading SCM 3.0 to HP SIM 4.2, managed systems should be upgraded and have SSH

installed.

NOTE: You must be running SCM 3.0 to upgrade to HP SIM 4.2. If you are running a version of SCM

earlier than 3.0, you must upgrade to 3.0 before upgrading to HP SIM 4.2. Refer to the

HP Servicecontrol

Manager 3.0 User Guide

for information on upgrading from SCM 2.5 to SCM 3.0.

If you have an unconfigured SCM 2.5 or SCM 3.0 on your system, you can upgrade to HP SIM 5.x. If SCM

3.0 is configured and you try to install HP SIM 5.x, the upgrade will fail because you must upgrade to HP

SIM 4.2 first.

For additional information about HP-UX 11i v3, see "Chapter 14 “Troubleshooting”".

Upgrading from SCM 3.0 to HP Systems Insight Manager 4.2

NOTE: During an upgrade of SCM 3.0 to HP SIM, the existing database is migrated and the password

is preserved in the back up directory.

NOTE: When upgrading SCM 3.0 to HP SIM, new Remote Method Invocation (RMI) keys and a keystore

are created. The keystore is moved to a back up directory.

1. Verify that SCM is running by entering the following:

ps -ef | grep mx

If SCM is not running, start the service:

/opt/mx/bin/mxstart

2. Tune the kernel using the Java Out-of-Box fileset. For more information, go to

http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/java2/outofbox/index.html. This product is available either

from the download depot file containing HP SIM 5.x or from the Operating Environment or Application

Release media. The kernel parameter values it adjusts are listed in the following table.

Note: Java Out-of-Box is a stand-alone bundle that reboots the system after it is installed.
