HP Systems Insight Manager 7.3 Installation and Configuration Guide for Microsoft Windows

5 Upgrading HP Systems Insight Manager
This chapter provides the steps to upgrade HP Systems Insight Manager 6.0 and later. Before
beginning the HP Systems Insight Manager upgrade, verify that your user name and password to
access the database are valid. When you perform an upgrade, HP Systems Insight Manager checks
for a previous installation of HP Systems Insight Manager, stops HP Systems Insight Manager and
all related services and daemons, overwrites or copies files to the appropriate locations on the
CMS, and then restarts HP Systems Insight Manager and all related services.
NOTE: If your current version of HP Systems Insight Manager is before the 6.x version, then you
must first upgrade to 6.x or a later version before upgrading to version 6.3 and above. For more
information about upgrading to the 6.x version, see http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/
support/SupportManual/c02051908/c02051908.pdf
NOTE: All HP SIM certificates are restored/retained after the SIM upgrade process. The content
of the certificate files do not change during the upgrade process, thus retaining the previous IP
address and the host-name details of the system. HP SIM upgrade does not change any content
of the certificate files. So previous IP/host-name will be retained.
NOTE: If the system’s IP/hostname details are changed after the previous HP SIM install, the user
must regenerate the HP SIM certificates.
