HP Systems Insight Manager 6.0 Installation and Configuration Guide for HP-UX

in the Integrating HP SIM 5.0 with HP OpenView Select Access white paper at http://h18000.www1.hp.com/
products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html.
NOTE: Legacy Novell systems with only an IPX network enabled will not be manageable by an HP-UX
CMS. An IP-based network must be available.
NOTE: If you are using Network Information Services (NIS), ping localhost and if you receive no response,
create or edit the file /etc/nsswitch.conf and add the following entry in the file: hosts: files
dns nis. If the NIS server is not in the network, do not add the nis entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
HP-UX patches
There are required patches that must be installed to run HP SIM. All patches should be installed before
running HP SIM. In particular, all patches that are required to support the Java that HP SIM uses must be
installed.
NOTE: To determine the Java version installed, execute:
/opt/mx/j2re/bin/java –version
Currently, the product is shipped with Java 1.6 (or Java 5.0) Runtime Environment.
NOTE: For more information about Java patches, go to http://www.hp.com/go/java, and select Patches
from the Site information. This site determines the recommended patches for the Java application. Follow
the instructions. To download all of the patches, go to the ITRC download center (login required). For more
information on individual patches, click the patch name.
