Partition Manager
Releases of Partition Manager before HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 and HP-UX 11i v1 September 2005 do not
work with HP SIM 5.x. You must upgrade to one of either the HP-UX 11i v2 May 2005 or the HP-UX 11i
v1 September 2005 versions of Partition Manager.
HP Performance Management Pack
After a HP Performance Management Pack (PMP) installation, the PMP menu options might not appear on
the HP SIM console. Manually add the PMP menu options by performing one of the following:
• - From the command line, enter:
mxtool -a -f "PMP installation path:\Performance Management Pack 3\ToolsMenu\PMPTools.xml"
• Copy PMPTools.xml from PMP installation path:\Performance Management Pack
3\ToolsMenu to SIM installation path:\System Insight Manager\Setup.
Then, restart the HP SIM service.
-------------------------------------------------------------
A user created with the user template or operator template might not be able to see menus related to PMP,
or might be required to sign in (single login does not work) after accessing the menus. Perform the following
to give the user template-based user authorization on the CMS:
1. Sign in as an administrator to HP SIM.
2. Select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations, and then select the Authorizations tab.
3. Create a new authorization for the selected user with the Monitor Tools toolbox and the CMS system
and click OK.
NOTE: This gives the user single sign-on as a user level, which is sufficient for a user based on the user
template. For users based on the operator template, a higher single login level is required.
1. Sign in as an administrator to HP SIM.
2. Select Options→Security→Users and Authorizations, and then select the Toolboxes tab.
3. Create a new toolbox with all tools in the HP Performance Management Pack category and the System
Management Homepage (SMH) as Operator in the View category, and click OK.
4. From the Authorizations tab, create a new authorization for the selected user with the newly created
toolbox and the CMS system, and click OK.

When installing PMP against Oracle, see the PMP documentation for the installation steps.
PING
When HP SIM is installed on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.0 system and
you want to manage more than 1,000 systems, you must tune the kernel parameters by editing the
/etc/sysct1.conf file and adding the following entries:
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 = 4096
net.ipv6.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 = 4096
Be sure to reboot the system after adding the entries.
PostgreSQL
Initialization fails on Red Hat 4.0 with ProLiant Support Pack for Linux 7.40 and PostgreSQL 7.4.7-2.
To work around this issue, manually install HP SIM.
