6. (Optional) If you are planning to run the Firefox browser on the CMS, verify that Firefox 2.0 or later is
installed. To verify which version is installed, open the Firefox browser, and select Help→About Firefox.
NOTE: Firefox is not required on the CMS. It can be used to access HP Systems Insight Manager from
any network client. Install Firefox 2.0 on the Linux managed node.
To upgrade your version of Firefox:
a. Download the latest version for Linux at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/. Create a
temporary directory called firefoxtemp, and place the downloaded .GZIP file in that directory.
b. Navigate into the firefoxtemp directory, and decompress the archive:
cd path/firefoxtemp
tar -zxvf firefox*.tar.gz
c. Firefox files will be extracted into a folder called firefox. Navigate to the firefox folder through
the new terminal from the GUI.
d. Run the ./firefox.bin file, and the Firefox browser will open.
Installing and configuring the software
HP SIM can be installed automatically or manually.
Automatic install executes the .bin file, automatically installing hpsmdb (HP SIM private version of PostgresSQL)
and HP SIM with minimal user interaction. Manual install requires that you execute the separate steps to
unpack files and install hpsmdb and HP SIM. If you are installing HP SIM with an Oracle database, HP
recommends the manual install.
Installation of HP Systems Insight Manager includes the hpsmdb software dependency.
Automatically installing HP Systems Insight Manager
To install HP Systems Insight Manager with hpsmdb, execute the following command:
./HPSIM-Linux*.bin
NOTE: See Step 4 for information on setting permissions.
The HPSIM-Linux*.bin file will extract the RPM Package Manager (RPM) files, install hpsmdb, and then
continue with the HP Systems Insight Manager installation.
NOTE: After installation is complete, log out of the operating system and then log back in to set all the
correct file permissions and system environmentals.
To complete the initial set up of HP Systems Insight Manager refer to “After installing HP Systems Insight
Manager”.
Manually installing HP Systems Insight Manager
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
