HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 with Update 1 Installation and Configuration Guide for Linux HP Part Number: 418811-005 Published: April 2009 Edition: 5.3.1

Full path to thin driver .jar file. This is not required if the .jar file is already in the class path for HP
Systems Insight Manager and JBoss. Mxoracleconfig reports an error if the driver class cannot be loaded.
Mxoracleconfig will not copy over a .jar file if it already exists in the classpath for HP Systems Insight
Manager and JBoss.
NOTE: By default, the ojdbc14.jar file is not shipped with HP SIM.
–f Force flag to force a re-run.
Typically, this command is run only once. This flag is provided if a re-run is required because of some
type of user error such as specifying the wrong Oracle server or database instance.
NOTE: Execute the mxoracleconfig command before the mxinitconfig command so that
mxinitconfig will use Oracle as the database.
3. Test the prerequisites by executing the following command:
/opt/mx/bin/mxinitconfig -l
This utility should report that all server components are OK and that it completed all tasks successfully.
NOTE: HP recommends resolving any warnings before continuing with the initializing and configuring
HP Systems Insight Manager process.
4. Initialize and configure HP Systems Insight Manager by executing the following command:
/opt/mx/bin/mxinitconfig -a
NOTE: The initialization of the upgrade is done in the background, which takes several minutes. To
verify if the upgrade is 100% complete, view the file by executing the following command:
more /var/opt/mx/logs/initconfig.log
NOTE: After upgrading from a previous version of HP SIM, if you notice a pre-existing collection
returning an unexpected result, and HP SIM has not been restarted since the upgrade, then stopping
and restarting the HP SIM service should resolve this problem.
5. Verify that the mxdomainmgr, mxinventory and mxdtf daemons are running by executing the
following command:
ps -ef | grep mx
If they are not running, start them by executing the following command:
/opt/mx/bin/mxstart
6. Configure the system to send SNMP traps.
NOTE: These steps might vary slightly, depending on your version of Linux. Refer to your Linux provider
for details if these file paths and file names do not exist on your system.
a. Verify that SNMP is installed by executing the following command:
rpm -qa | grep snmp
If SNMP is not installed, the previous command does not return a components list. Refer to your
Linux provider for information on installing SNMP.
b. Verify if the HP Server Management Drivers and Agents from the ProLiant Support Pack for Linux
is installed by executing the following command:
rpm -qa | grep hpasm
If the drivers and agents are is not installed, the previous command does not return a components
list. If they are installed, verify that the HP Server Management Driver and agent daemon are
running by executing the following command:
/etc/init.d/hpasm status
