2. Install and configure the required management software on the systems that will be managed by the

CMS. For more information on this step, see "Chapter 4, Setting up managed systems" for details.

3. Configure HP SIM for your environment. See chapter "Chapter 5, Configuring HP SIM using the First

Time Wizard" or "Chapter 6, Configuring HP SIM using the Options menu" for the recommended tasks.

4. Configure the remaining protocols for the managed systems. See "Chapter 7, Configure or Repair

agents" for details.

These steps are for a clean installation of HP SIM on your HP-UX 11i system. If a previous version of HP SIM

or HP Servicecontrol Manager is installed on your system and you want to upgrade keeping your data, see

Chapter 9 “Upgrading from HP Systems Insight Manager 4.x or later ” or Chapter 8 “Upgrading from

HP Servicecontrol Manager to HP Systems Insight Manager” for more information on upgrade.

This procedure verifies that your system meets the minimum requirements and prepares your system for

installation. See Chapter 2, “System requirements” for details.

line.
