HP Systems Insight Manager 7.0 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

2. (Optional, required only if you plan to use an Oracle database.) Configure HP SIM to use a

newly created Oracle database using the following command:

/opt/mx/bin/mxoracleconfig

The command executes and asks for user information for the following host/port/

Database/Username/Password/Jar file path with the file name.

mxoracleconfig

mxoracleconfig –h hostname –n port number –d database –u username

–p password –j driverjarfilelocation [-f]

Table 13 Oracle database commands

DescriptionCommands for an Oracle database

Full DNS name or IP address of the Oracle server-h Hostname

Port number to be used to connect to the oracle instance.

Default port is 1521

-n Portnumber

Name of database instance-d Databasename

Database user name-u Username

Database password for the corresponding user name-p Password

Full path to thin driver jar file. This is not required if the

jar file is already in the class path for HP SIM and jboss.

-j Driverfilelocation

Mxoracleconfig will report 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 SIM

and jboss.

Typically this command is run only once. This flag is

provided if a re-run is required because of some type

-f Force flag to force a re-run

of user error such as specifying the wrong Oracle server

or database instance.

3. Test the prerequisites:

/opt/mx/bin/mxinitconfig -l

This verifies that the prerequisites are present. You can review the log file found in /var/

opt/mx/logs/initconfig.log to verify that the initialization completed.

NOTE: HP SIM recommends resolving any warnings before continuing with the setup process.

4. Initialize HP SIM:

/opt/mx/bin/mxinitconfig -a

NOTE: The initialization of HP SIM is done in the background, which takes several minutes.

To verify if the initialization is 100% complete, view the file /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.

5. Verify that the mxdomainmgr and mxdtf daemons are running:

ps -ef | grep mx

If they are not running, start them:

/opt/mx/bin/mxstart
