NonStop I/O Essentials Installation and Quick Start Guide

3. Existing Installation Check – this step checks to see if another version of NonStop I/O Essentials
is already installed. If so, the installer will stop and tell you to uninstall that version first (see
Uninstalling from a Linux CMS).
4. Ready to Install – this step displays a confirmation of the product and version to be installed.
5. HP SIM Check – this step confirms that HP SIM 7.1 or later is installed and running. If a
supported version of HP SIM is not installed, you will be prompted to install it and retry the
installation. If HP SIM is not running, you will be prompted to start it and retry the installation.
6. HP SIM restart – during the installation, HP SIM will be stopped and restarted. If it does not
start within the expected time, the following message will be displayed:
HP SIM does not appear to be starting.
It may be necessary to take manual action to restart HP SIM.
Do you want to continue to wait? (y/n) [n]
Enter y if you wish to continue waiting or n to exit from the installer and resolve the problem.
Refer to the the HP SIM information library at
http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for HP
SIM troubleshooting instructions. If HP SIM cannot be started during NonStop I/O Essentials
installation, the installer process must be restarted, because the installer must perform tasks
after restarting HP SIM.
7. Finish – A log of install tasks and errors will be placed in: /var/log/zsupport/install/install.log.
