HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor management station prerequisites
Verify whether existing applications on the management station support other Oracle database instances to be
installed. If multiple Oracle database instances can coexist, ensure that they are not named PADB, as it conflicts
with the same name (PADB) provided for the HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor database.
HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor can coexist only with applications that allow different application-specific
Oracle instances to coexist. For more information, see the application-specific documentation.
If the %ORACLE_HOME%, %ORACLE_SID%, and %CATALINA_HOME% environment variables are already
configured on the management station, delete or rename them before the installation begins. You can recreate
these variables or rename them back after the installation procedure completes.
