This chapter provides the steps to upgrade HP SIM 5.1 and later.

Upgrading HP SIM in Linux

NOTE: Migration from SCM 3.0 to HP SIM 5.x on a Linux CMS is not supported.

HP SIM can be upgraded automatically or manually. Automatic install executes the .bin file, upgrades HP

SIM checking for the prerequisites and completes upgrade. Manual install requires that you execute the

separate steps to unpack files and then upgrade HP SIM.

1. Extract the .rpm files from the .bin file. Set the permissions to include the right to execute the .bin file

by executing the following command:

chmod u+x HPSIM-Linux_C.05.*.bin --noexec --target mxserver

NOTE: Refer to Step 4 for information on setting permissions.

2. To change the directory to mxserver, execute the following command:

cd mxserver

NOTE: If you are using hpsmd as your database, continue with Step 3 through Step 5. If you are

using Oracle as your database, skip to Step 6.

3. Install the hpsmdb database, using the appropriate .rpm files in the following order.

NOTE: The rpm -i hpsmdb-*.rpm command installs hpsmdb on your system.

• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (32-bit) with Service Pack 3

rpm -ivh hpsmdb-sles9-*.x86_64.rpm

• 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 Service Pack 3

rpm -ivh hpsmdb-sles9-*.x86_64.rpm

• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with Service Pack 1

rpm -ivh hpsmdb-sles10-*.i586.rpm

• 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with Service Pack 1

rpm -ivh hpsmdb-sles10-*.x86_64.rpm

4. Verify that the hpsmdb status reads running.

• For Red Hat Enterprise Linux (all versions):

NOTE: By default, the hpsmdb service is configured to run in INIT 3 and 5 level.

a. Execute the serviceconf command. The Service Configuration window appears.

NOTE: Use the ntsysv command instead of serviceconfif you are running from a CLI

prompt.

b. Scroll down to the hpsmdb entry.

c. Select the checkbox, save the changes, and start the service.

d. To start hpsmdb by using the command line, execute the following command:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/hpsmdb start
