IMPORTANT: It is critical that you start SIM before you start Storage Essentials. Do the following: Restart the HP SIM process by entering the following command:

# /opt/mx/lbin/hpsim restart server

Then verify that the HP SIM mxdomainmgr, mxdtf, and mxinventory processes are running by entering the following command:

# ps -ef grep mx

You can also verify that the HP SIM processes are running by waiting until you can browse to the HP SIM server (https://<HP SIM Host Name>:50000)

Do not start appstormanager service until HP SIM login page displays, otherwise connector might not work properly.

Step 11 - Start Management Server

Start the appstormanager service after the HP SIM service has started. To verify if HP SIM has started, verify if you are able to launch the SIM login page. The HP SIM login URL is https://<hpsim-server>:50000.

Execute the following command to start the management server (appstormanager service):

/etc/init.d/appstormanager start

Step 12 - Customize Database Passwords

During the upgrade, all Oracle passwords are reset to their defaults, including the TNS listener password, and the passwords for the SYS, SYSTEM, DB_SYSTEM_USER, SIM_MANAGER, RMAN_USER accounts. Please change these passwords using the Database Admin tool after the upgrade is completed successfully. This is stated in the console output that is displayed during the upgrade process. If you change the SIM_MANAGER password, you will also need to update HP SIM using the “mxpassword” command as described in this chapter.

Step 13 - Enable RMAN Backup if Desired

RMAN Backup is disabled by default as part of the upgrade process. When you log into the management server after upgrade, you will see a message informing you that RMAN Backup is disabled. You should re-enable RMAN Backup as soon as possible so you do not stop backing up your data.

Step 14 - Upgrade Selected CIM Extensions

Upgrade CIM extensions on servers with the following functionality:

•Backup Manager Hosts - Backup information is not gathered from legacy CIM extensions. In order for backup information to be gathered by the management server, the CIM extensions on the Backup Manager Host must be at the same software version as the management server. When you upgrade your management server, upgrade the CIM extensions on your Backup Manager Host in order to continue to see backup data.

•Windows hosts using SecurePath – SecurePath information is not retrieved from legacy CIM extensions.
