Configuration Guide for Microsoft Windows, available at the following URL:

Note: You must reinstall HP SIM with the same user account used previously. If a local account

was used, the host name must also remain the same.

2. Reinstall the WMI mapper, OpenSSH (and previous keys used), and SMH components if needed.

3. Reinstall any backup up custom files (TDEFs, MIBs, login prompt, and other actions) under the HP

SIM directory tree, and any custom support packs used by VCRM.

Note: The HP SIM installation procedure includes loading VCRM on a Windows CMS.

4. Reinstall any plug-in utilities (and associated files and databases) used with HP SIM. You can

reinstall using HP SIM integrated installer, the management DVD, or stand alone installer.

5. Stop the HP SIM Service if it is running, along with any HP SIM plug-in applications such as HP

Performance Management Pack.
