Preparing the system

Install the latest recommended HP-UX 11i Java patches.

For a list of the recommended patches, see http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/patches/index.html for details.

Verify that a previous version of HP Servicecontrol Manager or HP SIM is not installed and configured for use, using the following commands:

swlist -l bundle B8337BA B8339BA B8338BA T2414BA

swlist -l product ServControlMgr AgentConfig SysMgmtServer SysMgmtAgent

If any of these are installed and have been configured for use, use the upgrade steps in one of the following chapters to save your data. If the version of the SysMgmtServer product starts with B.04 or C.04 use the steps in "Upgrading HP Systems Insight Manager."

Or you can uninstall HP Servicecontrol Manager or HP SIM using the following command:

swremove –x enforce_dependencies=false ID

where ID is the product or bundle ID. For example:

swremove –x enforce_dependencies=false B8339BA

or

swremove –x enforce_dependencies=false T2414BA

Remove the old product subdirectories by executing the following command:

rm -fr /opt/mx /etc/opt/mx

The database for the ServiceControl Manager, mysql, can be removed by executing the following command:

swremove mysql

Download the software, or locate a copy of the software on a depot server.
