Before You Begin
Before installing HP 3PAR System Reporter components, select a system on which to run the System
Reporter sampler and Web server. This system must use Windows® Server 2012, Windows®
Server 2008, or Red Hat® Enterprise Linux 5.
If necessary, perform the following setup activities on the designated Windows or Red Hat Linux
server:
• Install the HP 3PAR OS Command Line Interface (CLI), version 3.1.2.
• Install the Apache Server.
• If you are using an Oracle database, you must install the Oracle client.
• (Optional). To avoid a DHCP-assigned address changing, assign a fixed IP address to the
system.
NOTE: The CLI installer executable for the HP 3PAR OS can be found on the System Reporter
CD at: Windows\CLI\setup.exe (for Windows) or Linux/CLI/setup.bin (for Linux)
See the HP 3PAR Management Console Online Help, located on the System Reporter CD at:
Document/CLI\3.1.2_CLI_Administrator_Manual.pdf, for instructions on installing the
HP 3PAR OS CLI.
