If Storage Essentials Fails to Start
If the credentials for the HP SIM server are entered incorrectly, you might not see the Storage
Essentials options on the HP SIM menus and/or Storage Essentials might fail to start when you
access Storage Essentials options from the HP SIM menus. Re-install the SIM Connector if you see
either of these issues following these steps:
1. Put the Storage Essentials CD in the CD drive of the Storage Essentials server. The installation
wizard starts automatically, determines that all components are installed, and automatically
displays the HP Systems Insight Manager Service Account Credentials screen.
2. Verify that HP SIM is running and accessible if Storage Essentials and HP SIM are installed on
separate servers (log in to HP SIM on the separate HP SIM server).
3. Return to Storage Essentials and enter the correct credentials for the HP SIM server and click
OK. The SIM Connector is installed and the connection between HP SIM and Storage Essentials
is successful as long as the HP SIM credentials you enter in the Re-install Connector screen are
correct.
