Installing and Uninstalling the Dell Smart Plug-in 23

Using the Repair Option in the Installer

If you accidentally delete any of the policies from the

SPI for Dell Devices

policy group, or from the Policy Inventory of the management server, use the

Repair option in the Dell SPI installer to re-install the policies.

The Repair option installs the missing Dell SPI policies, and automatically

deploys all the policies on the management server. Before you use the Repair

option, ensure that you remove all the Dell SPI policies from the HPOM

management server node on the HPOM console.

NOTE: If you modify any of the policies and then delete them, the Repair option

installs only the original version of the policies. You must modify them again as per

your requirements. The repair option resets the values of the SNMP, WSMAN, and

DWSURL parameters. You must set the values of the parameters again.

Additionally, if any of the files are missing or corrupted, the Repair option

replaces the file.

Upgrading Dell SPI from a Previous Version

If you have a previous version of Dell SPI installed on the management server,

you can upgrade the same to the latest version.

When you upgrade from a previous version, the existing policies upgrade to

the latest version and the existing Dell groups from nodes and services are

removed. After upgrade, the Dell nodes and service maps are recreated

automatically.

NOTE: The Upgrade process does not preserve the schedule settings for the policy

files. The schedules are reset to the default settings.

During upgrade, select all the options

— Monitor Dell Windows Servers,

Monitor Dell ESXi Servers,

and the

Monitor Dell Linux Servers

or select one

of the options as per your requirement.

If you select only the Monitor Dell ESXi Servers or the Monitor Dell Linux

Servers options, the upgrade process uninstalls all the Windows related policy

files, nodes, service maps, and the OMSA tool from HPOM, and enables you

to monitor only the ESXi or Linux systems.
