Verify Software Dependencies

The following software products need to be verified and possibly removed prior to

installing SIM 1.5:

•SIM (SysInvMgr) versions earlier than 1.0, see IMPORTANT note for details.

•Tomcat

• Java SDK

IMPORTANT Versions of SIM earlier than 1.0 must be removed prior to installing SIM 1.5. If SIM 1.0

is installed, you do not need to remove it. You can upgrade from SIM 1.0 to SIM 1.5.

Dependencies

To verify SIM 1.5 software dependencies:

1. Verify if a previous version of SIM is installed, and remove any version earlier than

1.0:

swlist SysInvMgr

•If version SysInvMgr B.11.

xx.

06 is listed, then you have SIM 1.0 installed and it

doesn’t need to be removed.

• If a different version is listed, it is earlier than 1.0 and it must be removed:

swremove SysInvMgr

NOTE The DMI product is removed with the preceeding command (if the standalone

DMI was not installed before SIM). If you do not want DMI to be removed,

remove SIM only with swremove SysInvMgr.SIM.

Then you must remove the SysInvMgr database files to release the disk space:

rm -rf /var/sysinvmgr

2. Verify if Tomcat version 4.1.12 is installed, and remove all other versions:

CAUTION Removing Tomcat could cause other applications to fail. Verify that Tomcat is not

required for other applications before removing it.

swlist hpuxwsTomcat

• If version 4.1.12 is installed, you don’t need to reinstall it during the SIM

installation.

• If any version other than 4.1.12 is installed, you need to remove it and remove

the directories containing Tomcat components:

swremove hpuxwsTomcat

3. Verify that Java SDK version 1.4 is installed:

swlist T1456AA

• If the correct version is installed, you don’t need to reinstall it during the SIM

installation.
