WEBES is optional diagnostic monitoring software. If WEBES is currently installed, it must be upgraded

to version 5.2, which is required with HP Command View EVA 8.0.1. To download the W EBES 5.2

software kit, go to the following website:

Archiving and clearing the err or log

Before upgrading WEBES, perform these steps to archive and clear the error log. If WEBES is installed and

running when you clear the log, stop the Dire ctor process before proceeding. See the WEBES User Guide

for information on stopping the Director. Also, do not stop and restart any Windows system processes.

NOTE:

You can upgrade WEBES without clearing the error log. However, the initial scan of event data may

take longer if the log is not cleared ﬁrst.

1. Open the event viewer.

• Windows 2000: Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer.

•WindowsServer2003:SelectStart > Program s > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer.

• Windows XP: Select Sta rt > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Administrative

Tools > Event Viewer.

“b”onanIntegrityserver.

b. Integrity: Clear the system event log:

Upgrading WEBES

This procedure applies when upgrading to W EBES 5.2 from an existing version of WEBES that is within

two versions of 5.2. For example, WEBES 5.2 can be upgraded when either version 4.5 or 5.1 is

installed, but not if version 4.4.3 or earlier is installed. If an upgrade is attempted on a version of WEBES

that is too old, you will be told to uninstall the existing version, and the upgrade will not proceed.

If WEBES is already uninstalled or was never installed, see the WEBES Installation Guide.

Upgra

ding lets you preserve your c onﬁguration and state data. Be aware that upgrading uninstalls the

olde

r version of WEBES and installs the newer version. The upgra de does not patch or replace certain

ﬁles

, as was the case with WEBES Service Packs.

Whenever a version of WEBES is already installed that is capable of being upgraded, the WEBES kit

informs you that the older version was detected and prompts you about upgrading.
