HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 Installation and Configuration Guide for Microsoft Windows

1. From the Database Configuration window, select Use Oracle. Before using the
database you must ensure the database:
◦ Uses Unicode character set of AL32UTF8 and national character set of
AL16UTF16.
◦ The NLS Length is set to BYTE.
◦ Has an Oracle user with Database Administrator (DBA) privileges created for
the exclusive use by HP Systems Insight Manager.
◦ The Oracle database schema is empty. HP Systems Insight Manager must be
installed in an empty Oracle database schema.
◦ The thin client .jar (ojdbc14.jar) is copied to the system at C:\oracle\
ora92\jdbc\lib, and the location specified during installation.
2. In the Password field, enter the password for the user name specified.
3. In the JarFile field, enter the full path to theojdbc14.jarfile or click Browse and
navigate to the correct location, typically C:\oracle\ora92\jdbc\lib. This
path must be accessible through the file system on the CMS. The installation copies
the file to the correct location.
4. Click Next. The Select Installation Type window appears.
NOTE: If an Insight Vulnerability and Patch Manager software (Vulnerability and
Patch Manager) MSDE database exists (within the HP Systems Insight Manager
database instance or located on a database instance created by Vulnerability and
Patch Manager), it is upgraded to SQL Express. If the Vulnerability and Patch
Manager database upgrade fails, a message displays indicating Failed to Upgrade
Vulnerability and Patch Manager Database to SQL Express, but the HP Systems
Insight Manager installation continues.
7. When the Select Installation Type window appears, select Typical to install the included
components with minimal user interaction listed under the Available Components for Install or
select Custom to select the individual components under the Available Components for Install
and configure them during installation.
NOTE: If a component is listed as not available for installation on the CMS, then the HP
Systems Insight Manager install shell has determined one of the following:
• The installation prerequisites for the component have not been met.
• The same or a newer version of the component is currently installed.
If the component that is present on the CMS is an older version than what is bundled with the
HP Systems Insight Manager install shell and it supports an in-place upgrade, it appears in
the component list.
