Note:
The HP SIM installation procedure includes loading the VCRM on a Windows CMS.
4. Reinstall any plug-in utilities (and associated files and databases) used with HP SIM.
5. If it is running, stop the HP SIM service, along with any HP SIM plug-in applications, such as
performance management.
6. Reinstall Oracle as instructed in the Oracle documentation. For more information, see
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.portal_db?selected=11&frame=.
7. Use a file management tool to restore the directories and files listed in Table 3. Substitute
<SIM> with the pathname where SIM is installed (for example, C:\Program
Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager).
You must use a file management tool that preserves file permissions (such as the Windows
Backup tool) while restoring directories and files.
