Installing HP SIM 7.x on the cluster
After completing the installation of a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Enterprise edition instance
or verification of the availability of an existing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 instance, you are
ready to proceed with the installation of HP SIM 7.x. If you already have a Microsoft SQL
Server 2008 instance, that you would like to use to host the HP SIM 7.x database (for HP SIM
7.x), follow the instructions below for installing HP SIM 7.x, but note the additional comments
throughout this section that relate to your particular setup.
Important:
Before you begin, be sure you have all system and pre-installation
requirements fulfilled. In addition, the Microsoft SQL Server 2008
service should be running. To be sure that you meet these
requirements, see the HP Systems Insight Manager Installation and
Configuration guides on the HP Management CD.
1. Ensure that both systems are up and running cluster services before installation.
Also, be sure that the SQL server instance, to which you are installing the HP SIM 7.x
database, is running.
2. Ensure that the cluster system that is to be installed with HP SIM 7.x owns the
clustered disks.
3. Read the HP Systems Insight Manager Installation and Configuration guides to be
sure that you have the right prerequisites for installation.
