Considerations when Uninstalling SIM Connector
If you need to uninstall the SIM connector at a later time, be aware of the following considerations:
The SIM connector consists of two parts, the HP SIM side of the connector and the Storage
Essentials side of the connector. In a typical uninstall, both parts of the connector are removed.
However, if HP SIM is not running or cannot be contacted, it is possible to go ahead and remove
only the Storage Essentials side of the connector. In this case, HP SIM will still contain Storage
Essentials objects such as menu items, links, queries, and collections. However, the Storage
Essentials items will not function.
If the SIM Connector Uninstaller detects that HP SIM is not available, you see a message similar to
the following:
HP Systems Insight Manager is not available. Click Cancel to exit the
uninstall or Continue to remove only the Storage Essentials SIM
Connector.
The following is a description of your options:
• Cancel the uninstall. (Recommended option). After cancelling the connector uninstall, you can
restart HP SIM. Once it is up, you can restart the uninstall.
• Continue the uninstall. This removes only the Storage Essentials side of the connector.
NOTE: Choose the Continue option only if you do not intend to use this installation of SIM in the
future, either on its own or integrated with Storage Essentials.
Step 6 - Configure SUSE Linux for Use with Business Tools
If you are running the management server on SUSE Linux, and Storage Essentials and HP SIM are
on the same machine, you must complete these steps if you intend to use Business Tools. Only the
root user can perform these steps.
1. Restart the HP SIM process by entering the following command:
# /opt/mx/lbin/hpsim restart server
