NOTE: To install HP Systems Insight Manager on a system without OpenSSH or with a

purchased version of SSH, use the --nodeps option on rpm.

For example, rpm --nodeps -ivh followed by the rpm files.

5. Install HP SIM using the .rpm files:

rpm -Uvh hpsim*

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:

cat /var/opt/mx/logs/initconfig.log

NOTE: If PostgreSQL is used by HP SIM and hpsmdb is installed successfully, the HP SIM upgrade

process automatically migrates the HP SIM data from PostgreSQL to hpsmdb. If hpsmdb cannot be

installed successfully, the upgraded HP SIM continues to use PostgreSQL.

6. If you have an Oracle database, after upgrading HP SIM do the following:

a. Stop HP SIM.

b. Search for a file named ojdbc14.jar in the [installdir]/lib and [installdir]/jboss/server/hpsim/lib

directories and remove it from any locations where it is found.

c. Download the new driver from the Oracle website at

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html.

d. Copy the JDBC driver file (ojdbc14.jar) to the [installdir]/lib and

[installdir]/jboss/server/hpsim/lib directories.

7. Complete the upgrade by restarting the HP Systems Insight Manager daemons using mxstop and mxstart.

HP SIM is now installed and initialized on the CMS. To browse to HP SIM, start the HP SIM

graphical

user interface

(GUI) using Firefox, or Internet Explorer at http://<IP_Address>:280/.
