HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software v5.5 Install Guide (T1789-96339, February 2013)

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the following prerequisites are completed before you begin the upgrade:
• Adequate free disk space (at least double the size of the existing database) is available on
the <Installation_Drive>, where you intend to perform the upgrade. For example, if
HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor is installed on the C:\ drive, ensure that adequate free
disk space is available on C:\ before proceeding with the upgrade.
• The %PADB_HOME% environment variable points to the <Installation_Drive>:\HPSS\
padb location and the %PATH% environment variable points to the %PADB_HOME%\ora_db\
bin location.
• The HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Database service and the HP XP P9000 Performance
Advisor Database Listener service are active.
• If the %ORACLE_HOME%, %ORACLE_SID%, and %CATALINA_HOME% environment variables
are already configured on the management station, delete or rename them. You can recreate
these variables or rename them after the upgrade procedure is complete.
• Configure the antivirus and firewall policies on your management station and host to ensure
uninterrupted communication between the two systems.
• You must not modify the DBParameters.properties file, as it leads to a failure while
upgrading the HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor.
