Installation Guidelines
This section elaborates the guidelines that you need to consider while installing VCRM either during
HP SIM installation or through independent installation.
Following are the points that you must consider while installing VCRM:
• While the VCRM is installed on only one system, you must install the VCA on all systems in
your network.
• After installing VCRM, use the Component option to configure components such as VCA and
SMH before deploying them to all target servers.
• Use the ProLiant Support Pack Install in HP SIM to install the PSP components on all target
servers for the first time.
• Use the Configure or Repair Agents option in HP SIM to configure and enable SNMP on all
target systems.
