The HP Cluster MIB Agents provide information about your cluster through SNMP. It is a prerequisite
for the HP SIM 5.x that these MIB agents be installed on your cluster to discover and identify itself as
a cluster, as well as recogn
izing its systems as such. If your cluster was setup following the
HP Systems
Insight Manager 5.x Installation and Configuration
guides that ship with the cluster itself, the HP
Management Agents and all the MIBs (including the HP Cluster MIB Agents) shoul
d already be
installed on each system.

SQL Server 2008
If you are installing HP SIM 5.x into an environment without a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Enterprise
Edition
instance already installed, go to for steps to install a clustered named instance of Microsoft
SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition. This named instance can host the HP SIM 5.x databases and any
other production databases you might require in your environme
nt.
If an instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition already exists in your cluster, you can
go to for steps to install HP SIM 5.x and the process to make it highly available.
If HP SIM 5.0 is running in your cluster, go to
Error! Reference source not found.
for steps to
upgrade the
HP SIM 5.0 to HP SIM 5.2 in a cluster.
If HP SIM 5.1 is running in your cluster, go to
Error! Reference source not found.
for steps to
upgrade the HP SIM 5.1 to HP SIM 5.2 in a cluster.
