5.Click the Storage Essentials and HP SIM on the same server option.

Choose the installation locations. Installing HP Storage Essentials and HP Systems Insight Manager on the same server allows you to install all of the software components on one designated system. The software components include:

–HP Storage Essentials

–HP Systems Insight Manager

–Oracle 10g Standard Edition database

–HP SIM Connector

–CIM Extension Management tool

IMPORTANT: Valid locations must be entered on the Installation Options screen. Path

information can only contain the following characters: A-z, 0-9, hyphen, underscore, period, back slash. Storage Essentials, HP SIM, and the Oracle database paths cannot contain spaces. Drive letters must be fixed drives.

Choose the installation directory where you want to install the Oracle database for the Storage Essentials management server. Choose a drive with enough dedicated disk space for the Oracle database and its backup files. The disk space requirements are dependent on the size of the SAN you are managing.

If the system does not meet the disk space requirements for the Oracle database used to store the management server data, the installation stops and prompts you to allocate the required disk space.

6.Click Next. The Service Account Credentials screen is displayed. Enter the user name and password for the HP SIM service account and the Domain name of the domain on which you are installing Storage Essentials and click Next. Click the Help button for more information about the service account credentials if needed.
