d. To start hpsmdb by using the command line, execute the following command:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/hpsmdb start

/etc/init.d/hpsmdb start

• For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 with Service Pack 3 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with

Service Pack 1:

a. View the status by executing the following command:

/etc/init.d/postgresql status

b. Configure hpsmdb to run during startup by executing the following command:

chkconfig hpsmdb 345

c. If the status is unused in any version of Red Hat Linux or SUSE Linux, start the daemon by

executing the following command:

• For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 with Service Pack 3 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

10 with Service Pack 1

/etc/init.d/hpsmdb start

NOTE: To install HP Systems Insight Manager on a system without OpenSSH or with a

purchased version of SSH, use the --nodeps option on rpm.

For example, rpm --nodeps -ivh followed by the rpm files.

5. Install HP SIM using the .rpm files:

rpm -Uvh hpsim*

NOTE: The initialization of the upgrade is done in the background, which takes several minutes. To

verify if the upgrade is 100% complete, view the file by executing the following command:

cat /var/opt/mx/logs/initconfig.log

NOTE: If PostgreSQL is used by HP SIM and hpsmdb is installed successfully, the HP SIM upgrade

process automatically migrates the HP SIM data from PostgreSQL to hpsmdb. If hpsmdb cannot be

installed successfully, the upgraded HP SIM continues to use PostgreSQL.

6. If you have an Oracle database, install the Oracle JDBC driver, version 10.1.0.2.0 or newer. See the

Oracle documentation, or visit the Oracle website at

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

If you have an older version of the JDBC driver already installed, do the following:

a. Stop HP SIM.

b. Search for a file named ojdbc14.jar in the /opt/mx/lib and /opt/mx/jboss/server/hpsim/lib

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