2 Installing HP Performance Monitor
This chapter provides information on the steps to be followed for installing HP Performance Monitor on Windows
environment.
2-1 Prerequisites
1. Before starting the installation, it is recommended that you exit from any other Windows programs that are
running.
2. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or above is a must to install Performance Monitor Database and Performance
Monitor Application Server.
3. Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 should be installed before installing the Application Server.
4. Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (all editions) Operating Systems are supported.
5. MS SQL Server Agent must be running where the MS SQL server is installed for data retention and index
fragmentation jobs.
6. Service broker must be enabled in MS SQL Server 2005 for data summarization.
7. Before installing Performance Monitor you should have the following information:
a. SQL Server Name and Authentication Type
b. For SQL Server Mixed mode authentication type, you need the SQL Server Login ID and password. This
login ID must have Database Creator role, Database owner and Public Access rights for the SQL Server
Performance Monitor database.
c. For Window authentication type, create an SQL Login ID which is same as the Windows Login ID. The
DB user must have the DB Owner rights on the SQL Server Performance Monitor. This user is required
to have Database Creator rights also in case the Performance Monitor Database is required to be
created by the installation program in default locations with default configurations.
NOTE:
The Database Creator role is only required if the database does not already exist.
d. SQL Server TCP/IP port where Microsoft SQL Server is listening. The default port is 1433. The same
port should be used for Performance Monitor Database and Application Server installation. If the SQL
Server is listening on a port other than the default port, enter the SQL Server name in the
<SQLServer_Name>,<Port_Number> format while installing Performance Monitor Application Server
and Database.
8. Back end environment of OVNPM must be up and running before installing Performance Monitor Database
and Performance Monitor Application Server. The command sv_status must be used to get the TCP
Transport Server port used. Use the SCF to obtain the host addresses of the TCPIP Transport Process
$ztc(nn) used by the TCP Transport Server.
9. In case you do not have System Administrative rights on the SQL Server login ID, the SQL login ID should
have database owner and public access rights of InsightCollectDB before installing Performance Monitor
Application Server.
10. In case you do not have System Administrative rights on the SQL Server, the login ID used to create the
database must have Database Creator role allocated before installing InsightCollectDB Database. If you
have already created the InsightCollectDB Database and you do not want to give Database Creator rights
to appropriate SQL user, the SQL Login ID must have database owner and Public Access rights on the
InsightCollectDB Database before installing the Database.
