Installation Manual

HP Storage Essentials SRM 6.0 Installation Guide 99
IMPORTANT: It is critical that you start SIM before you start Storage Essentials. Do the following:
Restart the HP SIM process by entering the following command:
# /opt/mx/lbin/hpsim restart server
Then verify that the HP SIM mxdomainmgr, mxdtf, and mxinventory processes are running by
entering the following command:
# ps -ef | grep mx
You can also verify that the HP SIM processes are running by waiting until you can browse to the
HP SIM server (https://<HP SIM Host Name>:50000)
Do not start appstormanager service until HP SIM login page displays, otherwise connector might
not work properly.
Step 11 - Start Management Server
Start the appstormanager service after the HP SIM service has started. To verify if HP SIM has
started, verify if you are able to launch the SIM login page. The HP SIM login URL is
https://<hpsim-server>:50000.
Execute the following command to start the management server (appstormanager service):
/etc/init.d/appstormanager start
Step 12 - Customize Database Passwords
During the upgrade, all Oracle passwords are reset to their defaults, including the TNS listener
password, and the passwords for the SYS, SYSTEM, DB_SYSTEM_USER, SIM_MANAGER,
RMAN_USER accounts. Please change these passwords using the Database Admin tool after the
upgrade is completed successfully. This is stated in the console output that is displayed during the
upgrade process. If you change the SIM_MANAGER password, you will also need to update HP
SIM using the “mxpassword” command as described in this chapter.
Step 13 - Enable RMAN Backup if Desired
RMAN Backup is disabled by default as part of the upgrade process. When you log into the
management server after upgrade, you will see a message informing you that RMAN Backup is
disabled. You should re-enable RMAN Backup as soon as possible so you do not stop backing up
your data.
Step 14 - Upgrade Selected CIM Extensions
Upgrade CIM extensions on servers with the following functionality:
• Backup Manager Hosts - Backup information is not gathered from legacy CIM extensions. In
order for backup information to be gathered by the management server, the CIM extensions on
the Backup Manager Host must be at the same software version as the management server.
When you upgrade your management server, upgrade the CIM extensions on your Backup
Manager Host in order to continue to see backup data.
• Windows hosts using SecurePath – SecurePath information is not retrieved from legacy CIM
extensions.
