Step 8 – Obtain and Apply a Storage Essentials License Key Before Setting Up Discovery on HP SIM

If you see the HP Systems Insight Manager First Time User wizard, do not click the Do not automatically display this dialog again check box. You must first import your Storage Essentials license. Without the license, Storage Essentials cannot start and the HP SIM discovery will fail. After you import the Storage Essentials license, restart the HP SIM First Time wizard (Options > First Time Wizard from HP SIM) to set up discovery. Follow these steps to obtain and import your Storage Essentials license:

1.Go to http://webware.hp.com and use the generate password option with the UID (copied from the Installation Complete screen) and the HP Order ID (found on the entitlement certificate) to create a permanent license key.

2.Import the license key:

a.Log in to HP SIM on the remote HP SIM server.

b.Click the Security menu. Click Deploy > License Manager > Storage Essentials > Manage Storage Essentials Keys in HP Systems Insight Manager.

c.Click Licenses from the menu.

d.Click the Import License File button.

e.Click the Browse button.

You are shown the file system of the computer being used to access the management server.

f.Select the license file.

g.Click OK.

Step 9 – Copy Your CIM Extensions to the HP SIM Server

As a best practice HP recommends copying the CIM extensions included on the CIM extensions CD to the HP SIM server. The HP SIM software component includes a tool called the CIM Extension Management tool which can be used to install your CIM extensions on multiple hosts in batch mode.

See ”Deploying and Managing CIM Extensions” on page 181.
