3-2 Installing the Provisioning Manager Server
Before beginning a new installation, you need to check the following items:
• Before installing Provisioning Manager server, install the Device Manager server 1.1.0-01 (Provisioning
Manager uses the functions of Device Manager). If an attempt is made to install Provisioning Manager
server on a machine on which the Device Manager server 1.1.0-01 is not installed, a message displays
indicating that the Device Manager server has not been installed.
• Install the Provisioning Manager server and the Device Manager agent on different machines.
• HiRDB must be running:
• Enter the following command to check whether HiRDB is running:
installation-folder-for- Common-Component\bin\hcmdssrv /status
• Several messages are displayed. The following message indicates that HiRDB is running normally:
KAPM06440-I The HiRDB service has already started.
• If HiRDB is not running, enter the following command to manually start HiRDB:
installation-folder-for- Common-Component\bin\hcmdssrv /start
• The Provisioning Manager database is shared with the Device Manager database. Add the capacity used
by Device Manager to the capacity used by Provisioning Manager to calculate the total capacity. For
details, see the
HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition Device Manager Server
Installation and Configuration Guide
.
By default, if you perform a new installation of Device Manager, 100 MB is reserved for the Device
Manager database (including the capacity to be used by Provisioning Manager). However, when the used
capacity exceeds 100 MB (for a large configuration), the Device Manager database capacity
automatically increases.
The estimate of the capacity used by Provisioning Manager is as follows:
• Small configuration example:
• In the following configuration, the estimate of the capacity used by Provisioning Manager is 33
MB.
• Number of hosts: 20.
• Average number of disks per host: 50.
