HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software v6.0 Install Guide

IMPORTANT:
• If the upgrade does not complete, the installation wizard will automatically perform a roll-back
of HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor to the earlier version, from where you had initiated the
upgrade.
• The HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor v6.0 installer log details are available in the
PA_Install.log file in the <system_drive>:\PA_Install_Log path, where
<system_drive> refers to the drive on which the operating system is installed. For the
PA_Install.log to open, Windows Installer v4.0 or later should be installed on the
management station and functioning properly.
The previous PA_Install.log file is renamed as PA_Install_<timestamp>.log. The
<timestamp> indicates the date and time of the backup.

displayed on the Email Settings screen when you click PA and DB Settings in HP XP P9000
Performance Advisor. However, you will have to manually reconfigure the SNMP settings.
