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

Others may be related to how the kernel parameters are tuned. For example, if the
maxssiz parameter which is used to set the maximum size of the stack for each of the
user process is set to 256 MB, you may get an "Unable to create native thread" error.
In this case try lowering the value to 32 MB or lower to resolve the problem.
8.4 HP Servicecontrol Manager and HP SIM issues
8.8.4.1 If you are upgrading your system from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3 and HP
Servicecontrol Manager 3.0 is configured on your system or HP SIM is installed on your
system, and you want to continue to run HP SIM in the future, upgrade to HP SIM using
one of the following upgrade scenarios:
• If HP Servicecontrol Manager 3.0 is configured on your system and you do not
want to lose your data, you must upgrade HP Servicecontrol Manager before
upgrading your system from HP-UX 11i v2 to HP-UX 11i v3.
• If you do not want to keep any of the data from HP Servicecontrol Manager, you
can remove SCM before starting the upgrade. Determine if HP Servicecontrol
Manager is installed on your system by entering the following commands:
swlist –l <bundlename>
swlist -l product ServControlMgr AgentConfigSysMgmtServer
SysMgmtAgent
Uninstall HP Servicecontrol Manager using the following command:
swremove ID
where ID is the product or bundle ID. For example:
swremove -x enforce_dependencies=false B8339BA
or
swremove -x enforce_dependencies=false SysMgmtServer
SysMgmtAgent
Remove the old product subdirectories by executing the following command:
rm -rf /opt/mx /etc/opt/mx
The database for the ServiceControl Manager, mysql, can be removed by executing
the following command:
swremove mysql
• If SCM is not configured or if HP SIM 4.x is installed and you want to continue to
use HP SIM, you must select HP SIM 5.x for upgrade.
Execute the following command:
-x match_target=true
Use this option or use the interactive mode to select HPSIM-HP-UX.
You can also specify HPSIM-HP-UX on the command line. The HP SIM 5.x installer
will upgrade both a configured and an unconfigured HP SIM 4.X. If you chose to
remove either HP Servicecontrol Manager or HP SIM, execute the following
command to remove subdirectories that were used in the product:
rm -rf /opt/mx /etc/opt/mx
If these subdirectories are not removed, you might encounter database errors when
trying to run mxinitconfig -a when installing HP SIM 5.x.
8.5 Security issues
8.8.5.1 Attempts to import the HP SIM certificate from cert.pem or server_cert.pem into a separate
application result in failure.
