Installation and Upgrade Guide

You can now provision OpenVMS through HP SIM (see Section C.1.6.2 (page 226)) or use vMedia
independently of HP SIM (see Section C.2 (page 232).
C.1.5 Setting Up HP SIM and the Windows Server to Provision OpenVMS
If HP SIM is not installed and running on a Microsoft Windows ProLiant server in the LAN,
install and configure HP SIM according to the instructions in the HP SIM Windows Installation
and Configuration Guide and the HP SIM Release Notes available in the Information Library on
the following website:
http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim
Once HP SIM is installed and configured, do the following:
• Acquire and install the OpenVMS Provisioning Plug-in for HP SIM, as described in
Section C.1.5.1 (page 214).
• Enable HP SIM to discover and identify the MPs of the Integrity servers on which you want
OpenVMS provisioned, as described in Section C.1.5.2 (page 214).
C.1.5.1 Installing the OpenVMS Provisioning Plug-in for HP SIM
The OpenVMS Provisioning Plug-in for HP SIM enables HP SIM to support provisioning of
OpenVMS. Follow these steps to acquire and install the plug-in:
1. Obtain and examine the README text file from the following website:
http://www.hp.com/go/openvms/provisioning
2. As directed by the README text file, unpack the ZIP file to a folder on your Windows
server. This automatically sets up HP SIM support of OpenVMS on the Windows server.
To unpack the file, double-click the InstallOpenVMSProvisioning.jar file and specify
the target folder on your Windows server. The OpenVMS Provisioning for HP SIM installation
wizard indicates the completion of the installation of the provisioning components and the
update of HP SIM deployment tools.
NOTE: If you double-click on the .jar file and a Windows popup message indicates that
Windows cannot open the file, enter the following command at the MS-DOS prompt:
java -jar "InstallOpenVMSProvisioning.jar"
3. If your OpenVMS InfoServer or vMedia is configured properly, you can use HP SIM to
provision (deploy) OpenVMS. However, first make sure HP SIM can discover and identify
the MPs of the Integrity servers that are to be provisioned.
C.1.5.2 Discovering and Identifying Your New Provisioning Client MPs
On any Integrity server that is to be provisioned by HP SIM, the iLO 2 MP must be connected
to the network, and HP SIM must be able to discover and identify the MP. For information about
connecting your iLO 2 MP, see the appropriate Integrity server documentation.
You can configure HP SIM to automatically discover iLO 2 MP ports in the network, but in some
cases you might need to manually discover a port that you have recently turned on. The following
steps describe how to use HP SIM to discover a newly introduced iLO 2 MP port. This should
be a one-time procedure. For more information about using HP SIM, see the HP SIM User Guide.
