Install the HP SAM Web Server and SQL Software
The installation package installs the HP SAM server application and/or HP SAM database (HPSAM-xx
##.MSI where xx is the language code, and ## is the version of the software you want to install. Language
codes include: EN for English, JA for Japanese, FR for French, DE for German, KO for Korean, ZH-CN
for Simplified Chinese). You may install either the Web server, the SQL database, or both. The language
selected is meant for the installation wizard only. Once the application is installed, the Web application
detects the browser language, and the user interface is shown in that same language, if the application
supports that language. If it does not, the user interface is in English.
NOTE: HP SAM can have one or more HP SAM Web servers. All HP SAM Web servers contain the
same feature set. You can set up HP SAM such that the servers load balance each other and act as
failover servers. Additionally, each server can independently run an automated task, such as
synchronizing the computing resources or deleting HP SAM system log data from the HP SAM database.
See
Administration on page 28 for more details on these scheduled events.
To install HP SAM Web server and SQL software:
1. Log in to the server using an account with administrative rights.
2. Run the HPSAM-xx ##.MSI install file (where ## is the software version number). Replace xx with
EN for English, JA for Japanese, FR for French, DE for German, ZH-CN for Simplified Chinese,
KO for Korean.
3. Click Next on the welcome screen.
4. For HP SAM Web server installation, the installer asks for a user account. The user account is the
owner of the HP SAM Web site and the HP SAM server service.
NOTE: HP highly recommends that you type a name and password from a service account, not
from a personal account. You should change this account name and password as infrequently as
possible to minimize interruptions to HP SAM.
5. You have the choice to install the HP SAM Web application only, the HP SAM SQL database only,
or both. The default is both. Click on the pull-down arrow next to SAM Web Site or SAM
Database to see the list of options.
CAUTION: If you want to keep the HP SAM Web site and the SQL database installed on the
same server, do not clear SAM Web Site from the list during installation.
