8.8.3.5 HP SIM and PostgreSQL functionality breaks when I attempt to install HP SIM on Red
Hat Enterprise Linux operating system that has PostgreSQL installed externally.
PostgreSQL and HP SIM functionality breaks when I install HP SIM on Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (RHEL) operating system where external PostgreSQL database is already installed.
After installing HP SIM 7.1, where I have installed PostgreSQL as an external package
on RHEL, the PostgreSQL binaries does not work as expected. I get the following error
when I execute the psql command.psql: symbol lookup error: psql:
undefined symbol: PQconnectionNeedsPassword
To resolve this issue, it is recommended to not use external PostgreSQL along with HP
SIM. HP SIM supports only the database bundled with its installation package. The
bundled PostgreSQL database is installed during HP SIM installation. If PostgreSQL is
already installed before HP SIM is installed on the CMS, then you must first uninstall
the existing PostgreSQL before proceeding with the installation steps.
8.8.3.6 HP SIM returns a warning message when I attempt to install Linux HP VCRM along with
HP SIM on a linux operating system.
When Linux HP VCRM is either freshly installed via HP SIM or is upgraded from an
older un-configured HP VCRM, I encounter the following warning message:
The setup is incomplete!
To resolve this issue, you can configure Linux HP VCRM from the HP VCRM user interface
available from the HP System Management Homepage application.
8.4 Sign in issues
8.8.4.1 I cannot sign in to HP SIM or to managed systems browsing from HP SIM using Internet
Explorer 8.0, Internet Explorer 8.0 SP2 or later.
Reason 1: Internet Explorer has a problem with underscores in system names, which
prevents the authentication cookie from working properly.
Solution: If the names of the systems have an underscore, use the IP address of the
system. Configure HP SIM to create links to the system using the IP address instead of
the name:
Procedure 10 Creating links to systems using the IP address
1. Browse and sign in to HP SIM.
2. Select Options→Security→System Link Configuration. The System Link Configuration
page appears
3. Select Use the system IP address.
