Installation Manual

Installing the Management Server on Microsoft Windows42
HP SIM globalsettings.props file from True to false. This file can be found in the following
directory on the HP SIM server:
[SIM_Installation_Directory]\config\globalsettings.props
• Windows 2000 is no longer supported. See the support matrix for your edition for complete
information on supported Windows versions.
• After upgrading, hosts are managed directly from the application server, and will no longer be
managed by our internal CIMOMs. Each host will be treated as its own discovery group; hosts
will no longer be members of the built-in discovery groups (default, discovery group 1, etc). See
”Managing Discovery Groups” on page 108 for more information.
• CLI clients earlier than the current revision are not supported.
• Any customizations to your CIMOMConfig.xml will not be preserved, because the file format
has changed. The old file will be saved to <installation directory>\SavedData for reference.
The customizations in the old CIMOMConfig.xml file must be manually merged into the file
shipped with 6.0 and you must restart the management server before the customizations are
applied to the updated management server.
• Files backed up to %MGR_DIST%\SavedData
The upgrade will save data to %MGR_DIST%\SavedData. Do not delete this directory.
About Migrating Brocade Fabric Access API–Managed Switches to SMI-S
After Upgrading
As noted earlier, The Brocade switch manufacturer no longer supports the Brocade Fabric Access
API provider and the Fabric Access API provider is no longer supported with this release of the
management server. Any Brocade switches that are managed with the Brocade Fabric Access API
provider will be quarantined after upgrading the management server. The management server
retains the data for the API switches after upgrading, but you cannot complete Discovery Data
Collection until you migrate these Brocade switches to the Brocade SMI Agent provider. See
”Migrate Your Brocade Switches to SMI-A” on page 50 for instructions on downloading and
installing the Brocade SMI-A provider.
About Changes to McDATA and Connectrix Switches After Upgrading
By default after upgrading, the management server is configured to use the SMI-S provider to
manage and discover McDATA and Connectrix switches. The migration to SMI-S is not required for
McDATA and Connectrix switches as it is with the Brocade Fabric Access API provider. The steps
for changing the discovery settings for McDATA and Connectrix switches are explained in the
discovery chapter.
About Resetting Archive Mode After Upgrading
If You Use Automatic RMAN Backups
After upgrading to Oracle 10g, your Archive mode setting in the Database Admin Utility is reset to
the default setting (No Archive Mode). If ARCHIVE MODE was enabled before upgrading, you
must access the Database Admin Utility and re-enable Archive Mode in order to continue automatic
RMAN backups. See the User Guide in the Documentation Center (Help > Documentation Center)
for the steps.
