4.For HP SAM Web server installation, the installer asks for a user account. The user account is the owner (known as the HP SAM service account) of the HP SAM website and the HP SAM server service. The permissions required for this account are:

Administrative rights on all computing resources (such as blade PCs)

Administrative rights on the HP SAM web server

Domain user—not a local administrator

NOTE: HP highly recommends that you type a name and password from a service account, not from a personal account. You should change this account name and password as infrequently as possible to minimize interruptions to HP SAM.

In order to install the HP SAM web administrator component, the Service Account name used must match the name listed in Active Directory, including the localized characters in that name, such as ö, ä or é.

Use the HP SAM Configuration Utility found in the Start Menu on the HP SAM Server to change the service account password for HP SAM if the password of the service account has been updated.

5.You have the choice to install the HP SAM web application only, the HP SAM SQL database only, or both. Both are required for HP SAM to operate. The default is both. Click on the pull-down arrow next to HP SAM Web Site or HP SAM Database to see the list of options.

CAUTION: Do not clear HP SAM Web Site from this list when you perform an upgrade if you want to keep the HP SAM Web site and the SQL database installed on the same server. Clearing the HP SAM Web Site will remove the HP SAM Web Site from the server.

6.Leave the default installation folder as is or click the Browse button to change it. Click Next to continue.

7.Type the SQL server name and either the NT authentication or the SQL authentication User Name, and Password. The SQL user account needs the ability to create a database on the SQL server for proper installation of the application. If the HP SAM database does not exist, the installation creates one. If the database already exists, then the installation links the web server to the HP SAM database server.

8.Click Next on the Web Resources Configuration screen.

9.Select New Web Site for new web installation, or select Existing to install on an existing website or to upgrade HP SAM.

10.Click the IP Address list and map the website to the appropriate IP address.

11.Click Next to run all tests. We recommend that you run all of them to ensure proper installation.

Diagnostic tests are now run during the HP SAM web server installation. These tests check for common configuration or environment problems that can lead to unsuccessful HP SAM installations. HP SAM Service Account permissions; operating system, SQL Server, and .NET Framework version support; domain environment support; and Windows Firewalls settings are checked.

12.Click Next to start the installation, or click Cancel to exit.

13.Click Finish when the installation is complete.
