Install SIM

Components

To install all components:

1. Make sure all the SIM system requirements have been satisfied. Refer to the

“System Requirements” on page 9.

2. Log on as root to the system that you’ve chosen to install SIM.

3. Use a Web browser to download the SIM software depot to a directory with at least

35 Mb of free disk space.

IMPORTANT This installation procedure refers to the /var/tmp/ directory and the

SIM_1.5_1100_1111.depot (for HP-UX 11.00/11i v1) as examples of a typical

installation. Replace the directory and depot names with the actual names of the

temporary directory and depot you want to install from.

4. Use swcopy to copy the software in the depot file into a temporary depot:

/usr/sbin/swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false \

-s

/var/tmp/SIM_1.5_1100_1111.depot

/var/tmp/SIM_1.5_1100_1111

5. Install the SIM components including Java SDK and Tomcat if necessary, replacing

system

with the name of the system on which you are installing SIM:

/usr/sbin/swinstall -s

system

/var/tmp/SIM_1.5_1100_1111
