Installing HP SIM 5.x on the cluster
After completing the installation of a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition instance or
verification of the availability of an existing Microsoft SQL Server 2008
instance, you are ready to
proceed with the installation of HP SIM 5.x. If you already have a Microsoft SQL Server 2008
instance, which you would like to use to host the HP SIM 5.x database (for HP SIM 5.x), follow the
instructions below for installing HP
SIM 5.x, but note the additional comments throughout this section
that relate to your particular setup.
IMPORTANT:
Before you begin, be sure you have all system and pre
-
installation requirements fulfilled.
In addition, the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 service
should be running. To be sure that you meet these
requirements, see the
HP Systems Insight Manager Installation and Configuration
guides on the HP
Management CD.
