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

8. Log in to the HP SIM GUI. For assistance with this, refer to Chapter 11 “Using the graphical user

interface”.

9. If, after logging in to HP SIM, you find that some items (toolboxes, users, tools, systems, system groups,

or authorizations) did not upgrade correctly, perform the following. Otherwise, continue to step 10.

IMPORTANT: These steps must be performed in the order specified. You can, however, start with the

first step that applies to you. For example, if node groups and authorizations failed to migrate, but

everything else migrated properly, start with step e.

a. Migrate toolboxes (roles) by running the following command from the command line on the CMS:

mxtoolbox -af /var/opt/mx/bak/3.0/zzz mxrole.3_0.xml

If the message A toolbox named <toolbox> already exists in the system appears,

Tools, and repeat this step.

b. Migrate users by running the following command from the command line on the CMS:

mxuser -af /var/opt/mx/bak/3.0/zzz mxuser.3_0.xml

If the message A user named <user> already exists in the system appears, log in

to HP SIM and delete all users except for the user used to log in, and repeat this step.

c. Migrate tools by running the following command from the command line on the CMS:

mxtool -af /var/opt/mx/bak/3.0/zzz_mxtool.3_0.xml

This command can display many Cannot add <tool> because it already exists in

the system messages, but these messages can be safely ignored.

d. Migrate updated definition of tools and ensure all the tools are displayed correctly within the HP

Systems Insight Manager tool menu by running the following command from the command line:

sh fixmenu.sh scmtdefs.data /var/opt/mx/bak/3.0/tools /var/opt/mx/tools

e. Migrate systems (nodes) by running the following command from the command line on the CMS:

mxnode -af /var/opt/mx/bak/3.0/zzz_mxnode.3_0.xml

If mxnode encounters any duplicate systems (nodes), it continues without displaying any messages.

If mxnode encounters a host name that cannot be resolved, the following error message appears.

Unknown host: <node_name>. Node ignored. The remaining nodes continue to be

processed. However, the missing node might affect the success of migrating node groups.

IMPORTAINT: When the command returns, log in to HP Systems Insight Manager, display the All

Systems list, and wait for all of the expected nodes to appear in the list before proceeding to the

next step. The amount of time varies based on system performance and the number of nodes being

added.

f. Migrate system groups (node groups) by running the following command from the command line

on the CMS:

mxngroup -af /var/opt/mx/bak/3.0/zzz mxngroup.3_0.xml

If the message A node group named <group> already exists in this system

appears, log in to HP SIM and delete all node groups except for All Managed Systems and CMS,

and repeat this step.

If the message The name <node_name> does not represent a node in this system

appears, then a node in the node group is missing, and processing on the file stops. Add the node

using mxnode -a <node_name>, or log in to HP SIM and add the node through Manual

Discovery. Then repeat this step.

g. Migrate authorizations by running the following command from the command line on the CMS:

mxauth -af /var/opt/mx/bak/3.0/zzz_mxauth.3_0.xml

If this command encounters any duplicate authorizations, it continues without displaying any

messages.
