Upgrading HP SIM 4.x or later to HP SIM 5.x in Linux
NOTE: Migration from SCM 3.0 to HP SIM 5.x on a Linux CMS is not supported.
HP SIM can be upgraded automatically or manually. Automatic install executes the .bin file, upgrades HP
SIM checking for the prerequisites and completes upgrade. Manual install requires that you execute the
separate steps to unpack files and then upgrade HP SIM.
1. Extract the .rpm files from the .bin file. Set the permissions to include the right to execute the .bin file
by executing the following command:
chmod u+x HPSIM-Linux_C.05.*.bin --noexec -target mxserver
Note: Refer to Step 4 for information on setting permissions.
2. To change the directory to mxserver, execute the following command:
cd mxserver
NOTE: If you are using hpsmd as your database, continue with Step 3 through Step 5. If you are
using Oracle as your database, skip to Step 6.
3. Install the hpsmdb database, using the appropriate .rpm files in the following order.
Note: The rpm -i hpsmdb-*.rpm command installs hpsmdb on your system.
