Installation Manual

Installing the Management Server on Microsoft Windows24
Step 4 – Verify that HP SIM is Running on the Remote Server
Before the Storage Essentials installation wizard installs the HP SIM Connector component, you
must verify that HP SIM is currently running on the remote HP SIM server you specified in the
Installation Options screen. The Storage Essentials installation wizard automatically installs the HP
SIM Connector on the Storage Essentials server and the HP SIM Connector must be able to connect
to the remote HP SIM server in order for the integrated Storage Essentials and HP SIM installation
to be successful. Follow these steps:
1. Manually access the remote HP SIM server over the network.
2. Verify that you can log in to HP SIM on that server.
Step 5 – Complete the Storage Essentials Installation
Continue the Storage Essentials installation after verifying that the HP SIM server is running and is
accessible on the network.
1. Go back to the Storage Essentials server and click OK to dismiss the dialog box that prompts
you to verify your HP SIM server is running.
The Storage Essentials installation wizard will then install the HP SIM Connector component on
the Storage Essentials server.
There is a two minute delay after you click OK on the Storage Essentials server while the HP
SIM Connector is installed on the Storage Essentials server and the Storage Essentials
installation wizard then connects to the specified HP SIM server and automatically installs the
HP SIM Connector component on the HP SIM server.
The Storage Essentials menu items are added to the HP SIM menus and screens when the
Storage Essentials installation wizard automatically installs the HP SIM Connector component
on the HP SIM server.
2. Click Next on the Status screen. The Storage Essentials Installation Complete screen is
displayed.
NOTE: If the HP SIM Connector fails, re-start the Storage Essentials installation wizard. The
Storage Essentials installation wizard will detect the Storage Essentials and Oracle components
and will automatically display the HP SIM Connector screen allowing you to re-install the HP SIM
Connector. If the issue continues, contact Customer Support.
3. Copy the Unique Client ID (UID) number displayed on the Installation Complete screen and
paste it into a text document or make a note of it. You need the UID number to obtain a License
Key.
