HP OpenVMS 8.x manual Installing the OpenVMS Provisioning Plug-in for HP SIM

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.
