Step 5 – Manually Export the Database

Manually export the database and create an image of the server.

Export the database and create an image as described in the following steps. Make sure you select Export HPSIM Schema so that HP System Insight Manager data is exported.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you save the backup in a directory structure that is not part of the management server installation directory.

1.Stop the services for HP SIM and HP Storage Essentials (AppStorManager) before you run the Database Admin Utility.

2.Use the Database Admin Utility to export your Oracle database. Be sure to select Export HPSIM Schema in the Database Admin Export window so that HP System Insight Manager data is exported. See ”Database Maintenance and Management” on page 263.

As a best practice it is highly recommended that you backup the management server to create a restorable image of the server using the backup tool of your choice.

Step 6 – Start the Storage Essentials Upgrade Wizard

and Resolve Any Minimum Requirement Issues

1.Exit all external utilities that use Oracle before starting the upgrade wizard.

2.Put the Storage Essentials for Windows Management Server installation CD in the CD-ROM drive of the management server running Storage Essentials and HP SIM or on the separate server on which Storage Essentials is installed if you are running a separate server configuration. The Storage Essentials upgrade wizard starts automatically and the Welcome to Storage Essentials screen is displayed.

3.Click Next. The System Inspection screen is displayed briefly while the Storage Essentials installation wizard scans your system and determines that you are upgrading. As long as the system requirements are met, the Getting Started with an Upgrade screen is displayed.

IMPORTANT: The Storage Essentials upgrade wizard stops AppStorManager, the service for HP Storage Essentials host, even if you cancel the upgrade program without making any changes. Restart the service after cancelling setup.exe to bring your system back to an operational state.

The following checks are performed before the Storage Essentials installation wizard starts. If any of these checks fail, the installation wizard will not start until the requirement is met. See ”Pre-installation Checklist (Installations and Upgrades)” on page 8 and the support matrix and release notes (Documentation > Support Matrix or Release Notes, accessible from any Storage Essentials installation wizard screen) for more details on the requirements:

•Only one instance of the installation wizard can be running.

•Screen resolutions less than 800x600 pixels will cause the upgrade to fail.

•You must be logged into the machine with administrator privileges or the upgrade will fail.
