Building an HP SIM 5.x server on a Linux-based Serviceguard Cluster (444847-001, February 2007)

Each system of the cluster is running RHEL 4 Update 4.

Installing the HP SIM binary on system1 and system2

Install HP SIM on each node in parallel. Download the binary distribution under /tmp, and then

execute the following steps. Run the regular installation steps as described on the HP SIM website.

1. To install HP SIM with PostgreSQL, execute the following command:

# cd /tmp

# ./HPSIM-Linux*.bin

2. The HPSIM-Linux*.bin file extracts the RPM Package Manager (RPM) files, installs

PostgreSQL, and then continues with the HP SIM installation.

3. Test the prerequisites by executing the following command:

# /opt/mx/bin/mxinitconfig –l

This utility should report that all server components are acceptable and that it completed all

tasks successfully.

4. Initialize and configure HP SIM 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:

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

5. Verify that the mxdomainmgr, mxinventory, and mxdtf daemons are running by

executing the following command:

# ps –ef | grep mx
