8 Upgrading HP Systems Insight Manager

This chapter provides the steps to upgrade HP SIM 5.1 and later.

1. Verify that your system meets the minimum requirements.

NOTE: HP SIM does not support upgrading to an Oracle database. Oracle is supported on a fresh

installation only.

2. Install the latest required and recommended HP-UX 11i patches. See http://www.hp.com/products1/

unix/java/patches/index.html for details.

If you are running the 2002 release of HP-UX 11.11 (11i v1), apply the required and recommend

patches to save time during the upgrade process. If you do not apply the patches, you could experience

extended upgrade times of 2 hours before you can log in to the system after an upgrade. If initconfig.log

shows 100% completion and you cannot browse into HP SIM on port 280, then stop and start the HP

SIM service by running mxstop and mxstart respectively. If the browser is not displaying the pages

properly, try shutting down all the browsers to clear the cache.

3. Download the software, or locate a copy of the software on a depot server.

To download the software, see http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim, and select Download under HP

management software on the upper-left of the screen. The HP SIM Download Page appears. Under

HP Systems Insight Manager and related components, select HP SIM-HP-UX, and select Download

latest version of HP SIM-HP-UX for a full product install.

When installing HP SIM, Java Out-of-Box and SSH are required, and automatically selected for

installation. For additional information about Java Out-of-Box, see

http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/java2/outofbox/index.html. The Java Out-of-Box settings

When you install HP Systems Insight Manager, the following software dependencies are required:

SysMgmtDB, JAVAOOB, and SSH. If you would like HP SIM to manage your CMS you must install

WBEM, if it is not already installed. If you downloaded your software from the Web, these dependency

packages are included in the depot file. The installation procedure will be described using this depot.

4. If you have an Oracle database, after upgrading HP SIM do the following:

a. Stop HP SIM.

b. Search for a file named ojdbc14.jar in the [installdir]/lib and [installdir]/jboss/server/hpsim/lib

directories and remove it from any locations where it is found.

c. Download the new driver from the Oracle website at

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html.

d. Copy the JDBC driver file (ojdbc14.jar) to the [installdir]/lib and

[installdir]/jboss/server/hpsim/lib directories.

5. Install HP Systems Insight Manager:

swinstall -s /directory/depot –x autoreboot=true HPSIM-HP-UX

where directory is the path to the depot file and depot is the name of the depot file. For example:

swinstall -s /tmp/HPSIM_download.depot -x autoreboot=true HPSIM-HP-UX
