HP SIM requires the DBA Role privilege for the user during HP SIM installation or upgrade only.
However you can select to revoke the DBA Role privilege from the user after installation or upgrade
is complete.
1. HP SIM installation
• Create a database user with DBA Role privilege on the Oracle database server.
• Install HP SIM with the database user created for the database.
2. Post installation
After successful installation, stop the HP SIM service.
3. Configure the database user.
a. Remove the DBA Role privilege from the database user.
b. Grant Unlimited Tablespace for the database user.
c. Grant the following Object Privilege to all tables and views:
• INSERT
• UPDATE
• DELETE
• SELECT
d. Grant CREATE SESSION privilege for database user.
e. Grant truncate privilege for:
• associated_device_data
• consolidatedNodeAuths
4. Restart the HP SIM service.
License Manager
Collection of Lights-out 100 licenses from Lights-out 100 targets are supported beginning with in
HP SIM 6.1 and deployment on LO100 targets on G6 servers with latest firmware versions.
-------------------------------------------------------------
When a subscription license for a particular product has expired, license manager's opening table
will still show that product has no system limit. The true disposition of licenses for the corresponding
product can be determined by opening Manage Licenses. If an expected subscription license is
not listed, it has expired and is no longer available.
Locale
Certain parts of CLI output might contain system-generated text that always appears in the language
indicated by the default CMS locale, not the locale of the user's CLI terminal. This condition can
occur following two problems:
• This text might provide a localized property key of the TDef file, which is not allowed for TDef
input.
• This text might be identified by one or more question mark (?) character strings appearing in
the CLI output.
Solution: The CMS locale is determined by the globalsettings.props file. To change the
CMS locale and possibly allow the CLI to generate proper locale text, edit the
globalsettings.props file by running the following command:
To set CMS Locale to Japanese:
mxglobalsettings -s -f CMSLocale=ja_JP
To set CMS Locale to English:
mxglobalsettings -s -f CMSLocale=en_US
After you run this command, restart HP SIM.
