Installing and configuring the software

When you install HP Systems Insight Manager, the following software dependencies are required: SysMgmtDB, JAVAOOB, and SSH (HP-UX Secure Shell). To best manage your HP SIM Central Management Server (CMS) install WBEM if it is not already installed. If you downloaded your software from the Web, these dependency packages are included in the depot file. The installation procedure is described using this depot.

To install HP Systems Insight Manager:

Install HP Systems Insight Manager:
swinstall -s /directory/depot –x autoreboot=true HPSIM-HP-UX
where directory is the path to the depot file and depot is the name of the depot file. For example:
swinstall -s /tmp/HPSIM_download.depot –x autoreboot=true HPSIM-HP-UX
Note: All required dependencies are selected automatically for installation.

(Optional, required only if you plan to use an Oracle database.) Configure HP SIM to use a newly created Oracle database using the following command:

/opt/mx/bin/mxoracleconfig

The command executes and asks for user information for the following host/port/Database/Username/Password/Jar file path with the file name.

mxoracleconfig

mxoracleconfig -h hostname -n portnumber -d databasename -u username \

-p password -j driverjarfilelocation [-f ]

Commands for an Oracle database	Description
`–h Hostname`	Full DNS name or IP address of the Oracle server
`-n Portnumber`	Port number to be used to connect to the oracle instance. Default port is 1521
`–d Databasename`	Name of database instance
`–u Username`	Database user nameDatabase user name
`–p Password`	Database password for the corresponding user name
`–j Driverfilelocation`	Full path to thin driver jar file. This is not required if the jar file is already in the class path for HP SIM and jboss. Mxoracleconfig will report an error if the driver class cannot be loaded. Mxoracleconfig will not copy over a jar file if it already exists in the classpath for HP SIM and jboss.
`–f Force flag to force a re-run`	Typically this command is run only once. This flag is provided if a re-run is required because of some type of user error such as specifying the wrong Oracle server or database instance.

Test the prerequisites:
/opt/mx/bin/mxinitconfig –l
This verifies that the prerequisites are present. You can review the log file found in /var/opt/mx/logs/initconfig.log to verify that the initialization completed.
Note: HP SIM recommends resolving any warnings before continuing with the setup process.
Initialize HP Systems Insight Manager:
/opt/mx/bin/mxinitconfig -a
Note: The initialization of HP SIM is done in the background, which takes several minutes. To verify if the initialization is 100% complete, view the file /var/opt/mx/logs/initconfig.log.
Note: After upgrading from a previous version of HP SIM, if you notice a pre-existing collection returning an unexpected result, and HP SIM has not been restarted since the upgrade, then stopping and restarting the HP SIM service should resolve this problem.
Verify that the mxdomainmgr and mxdtf daemons are running:
ps -ef | grep mx
If they are not running, start them:
/opt/mx/bin/mxstart
(Optional) To use the CMS as a managed system, install WBEM, if it is not already installed. Because WBEM requires OpenSSL, be sure OpenSSL is installed on the CMS by running:
swlist OpenSSL
If this command returns "Error: Software "OpenSSL" was not found on host," then OpenSSL is not installed.
OpenSSL is available on Software Depot at http://www.hp.com/go/softwaredepot or on your operating system media.
1. Install the OpenSSL Software:
  swinstall -s/directory/OpenSSL_depot OpenSSL
  where directory is the path to the depot file, and OpenSSL_depot is the name of the OpenSSL depot file.
2. Now, install WBEM:
  swinstall -s /directory/depot B8465BA
  where directory is the path to the depot file and depot is the name of the depot file. For example:
  swinstall -s /tmp/WBEM_download.depot B8465BA
Note: To verify if WBEM (cimserver, cimserverd) daemons are running:
ps -ef | grep wbem.
On HP-UX 11i v2 (September 2004 or later) (B. 11 .23) WBEM is installed by default.
(Optional) Configure the CMS to send SNMP traps to itself.
1. Add the name of the CMS as a trapdest in the file /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf trap-dest: <cms_full_hostname_or_ip_address>
2. Stop the SNMP Master agent and all subagents with the following command:
  /sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster stop
3. Restart the SNMP Master agent and all subagents with the following command:
  /usr/sbin/snmpd
