Step 4 – Manually Upgrade HP SIM (Required Only When HP SIM is Running on a Separate Server)

Skip this step to manually upgrade HP SIM if Storage Essentials and HP SIM are installed on the same server. When the two are installed on the same server, the Storage Essentials installation wizard automatically checks for HP SIM and walks you through the upgrade. Upgrade HP SIM in this step if HP SIM is running on a separate server.

IMPORTANT: Stop the AppStorManager service prior to starting this step.

•If you are running an earlier version of HP SIM 5.1 on Windows in a dual server Storage Essentials and HP SIM configuration, you must manually upgrade HP SIM. Your integrated environment will be non-operational until after the completion of the Storage Essentials installation wizard and HP SIM Connector upgrade. The manual installation of HP SIM is only required if HP SIM and Storage Essentials are installed on separate servers.

•Install HP SIM 5.1 or later using the HP SIM CD–ROM included with your Storage Essentials software on the designated HP SIM server following the steps in this section.

•If HP Systems Insight Manager is installed on a separate server, you must first upgrade the HP SIM server separately to HP SIM 5.1. If you are running HP SIM 5.1 on the HP SIM server, you are not required to upgrade the HP SIM server. Continue to ”Step 5 – Manually Export the Database” on page 45 if the HP SIM server is running version 5.1. Follow the steps below if HP SIM needs to be upgraded.

NOTE: Earlier versions of HP SIM (earlier than 5.1) run on the Oracle 9i database and are not compatible with this release of Storage Essentials.

1.Stop the AppStorManager service on the Storage Essentials server.

2.Log on to the HP SIM Windows server and put the HP SIM CD in the CD drive of the HP SIM server or double-click the HP SIM setup.exe file if you have copied the HP SIM installation files to a network or local drive.

3.Follow the instructions on the HP SIM upgrade screens. As a best practice, upgrade only the following components that are required to install and set up Storage Essentials:

•System Management Homepage

•HP Systems Insight Manager

4.Accept the default options on each HP SIM screen. You can optionally install/upgrade other HP SIM components at a later time by running the HP SIM CD again on the HP SIM server and following the instructions in the HP SIM documentation once the Storage Essentials installation is complete.

5.Reboot the HP SIM server when prompted at the end of the HP SIM installation.

6.Verify you can start the HP SIM service and log into HP SIM without any errors.

7.Log out of HP SIM.

8.Stop the HP SIM service.
