1. Import the certificate (cert.pem) into the parmgr keystore (parmgr.keystore) by entering
the following command at the command line (all one line):
%JAVA_HOME%\bin\keytool -import -alias server_hostname-file cert.pem
-keystore %SystemDrive%\hp\sslshare\parmgr.keystore
2. When prompted, enter the password to the keystore. If the parmgr.keystore file does
not yet exist (in other words, if this is the first certificate you have tried to import), the
keytool -import command creates a new keystore file, and any password you enter
becomes the assigned password for this new keystore.
NOTE: Use a password that you will remember. You will need it the next time you import
a certificate into the keystore.
3. To enable certificate validation for the commands used by Partition Manager, append the
contents of cert.pem to the end of the file:
%SystemDrive%\hp\sslshare\known_hosts.pem.
NOTE: Earlier versions of the nPartition commands used client.pem instead of
known_hosts.pem. Consult the nPartition Commands release notes to determine which
file to use.
4. Restart the JSP/Servlet Container by restarting the HP System Management Homepage
service (SysMgmtHP) or by rebooting Windows.
Upgrading service packs later (after installation)
Until the required patches and hotfixes are incorporated into Windows service packs, upgrading
the service pack level of the operating system after installing nPartition components might affect
operation. Upgrading from Windows XP Professional to Windows XP Professional Service Pack
1 can overwrite a file replaced by the Q332207 hotfix with an older version. Reinstalling the hotfix
corrects the problem.
