You can also specify HPSIM-HP-UX on the command line.
The HP SIM 5.x installer will upgrade both a configured

either HP Servicecontrol Manager or HP SIM you must
execute the following command to remove subdirectories
used in the product: rm -fr /opt/mx /etc/opt/mx
If these subdirectories are not removed, you might
encounter database errors when trying to run
