database installed by a previous version of HP Systems Insight Manager or an HP Systems
Insight Manager partner, the SQL 2005 Express database is detected and is migrated to the
SQL 2008 R2 Express database. The original SQL 2005 Express database is not altered and
still remains on the system untouched.
If you are upgrade HP Systems Insight Manager on a system that uses a remotely installed
database, the Database Configuration page appears as shown below.

rights and database access. The installation tests for the administrative rights. Click Next to
proceed.
