Step 5 - Run the upgradeAppStorManager Script

Run the upgradeAppStorManager.sh script from the Oracle disk to begin the upgrade process.

•The script upgradeAppStorManager.sh initiates the upgrade process. It checks for prerequisite conditions and exits if any condition is not satisfied. It stops running services and exports the current database to a temporary location. All output will be logged to a time stamped file named upgradeAppStorManager_<timestamp>.log in

/var/tmp/.appstor.

•The upgradeAppStorManager.sh script stops the management server before proceeding with Oracle9i uninstall.

•The upgradeAppStorManager.sh script also stops the HP SIM services before proceeding with Oracle 9i uninstall. For a dual-box integrated system, where HP SIM is installed on a remote box, the SIM service must be stopped manually before executing upgradeAppStorManager.sh. If the SIM connector is installed, the script will prompt the user to uninstall the connector before running the upgrade script. Uninstalling the HP SIM connector is described earlier in this chapter, following the installation steps, in the section ”Considerations when Uninstalling SIM Connector” on page 86. Make sure the HP SIM service is running before and after uninstalling the SIM connector.

•In a SIM/SE integrated setup, in order to upgrade the Oracle database, the password for SIM_MANAGER oracle user account must be reset to its default value ('quake'). If the password for the SIM_MANAGER Oracle user account was changed and is not the default password, the following actions apply.

•In a single box deployment, an attempt will be made to automatically change the password used by SIM using the “mxpassword” command. If the script detects that this command failed, the following message is shown:

Unable to reset password of Oracle user account SIM_MANAGER.

In order to upgrade the Oracle database, the password of Oracle user account SIM_MANAGER must be reset to its default value.

Please run the following command given to reset the password:

/opt/mx/bin/mxpassword -m -x MxDBUserPassword=quake

Continue if the password is reset [y/n]

In such case, execute the mxpassword command in a separate shell window and continue the upgrade procedure by typing 'y' at the prompt.

•In a dual box deployment, the user has to manually run the mxpassword command on the remote SIM system. The following message is shown:

WARNING: In order to upgrade the Oracle database, the password of Oracle user account SIM_MANAGER must be reset to its default value.

Please run the command given below on the system where SIM is installed to reset the password.

mxpassword -m -x MxDBUserPassword=quake
