NOTE: Migration from SCM 3.0 to HP SIM 5.x on a Linux CMS is not supported.

HP SIM can be upgraded automatically or manually. Automatic install executes the .bin file, upgrades HP SIM checking for the prerequisites and completes upgrade. Manual install requires that you execute the separate steps to unpack files and then upgrade HP SIM.

  1. Extract the .rpm files from the .bin file. Set the permissions to include the right to execute the .bin file by executing the following command:

    chmod u+x HPSIM-Linux_C.05.*.bin --noexec --target mxserver

    NOTE: Refer to Step 4 for information on setting permissions.

  2. To change the directory to mxserver, execute the following command:

    cd mxserver

    NOTE: If you are using hpsmd as your database, continue with Step 3 through Step 5. If you are using Oracle as your database, skip to Step 6.

  3. Install the hpsmdb database, using the appropriate .rpm files in the following order.

    NOTE: The rpm -i hpsmdb-*.rpm command installs hpsmdb on your system.

    • For 32-bit and 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Update 1 AS/ES

      rpm -ivh hpsmdb-rhel5-*.rpm

      postgresql-7.4.1-1PGDG.i386.rpm \

    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 U3 AS/ES

      rpm -ivh hpsmdb-rhe14-*.i386.rpm

    • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 (32-bit) with Service Pack 3

      rpm -ivh hpsmdb-sles9-*.x86_64.rpm

    • 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 Service Pack 3

      rpm -ivh hpsmdb-sles9-*.x86_64.rpm

    • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with Service Pack 1

      rpm -ivh hpsmdb-sles10-*.i586.rpm

    • 64-bit SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with Service Pack 1

      rpm -ivh hpsmdb-sles10-*.x86_64.rpm

  4. Verify that the hpsmdb status reads running.

    • For Red Hat Enterprise Linux (all versions):

      NOTE: By default, the hpsmdb service is configured to run in INIT 3 and 5 level.

      1. Execute the serviceconf command. The Service Configuration window appears.

        NOTE: Use the ntsysv command instead of serviceconfif you are running from a CLI prompt.

      2. Scroll down to the hpsmdb entry.

      3. Select the checkbox, save the changes, and start the service.

      4. To start hpsmdb by using the command line, execute the following command:

        /etc/rc.d/init.d/hpsmdb start

        Or

        /etc/init.d/hpsmdb start

    • For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 with Service Pack 3 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with Service Pack 1:

      1. View the status by executing the following command:

        /etc/init.d/postgresql status

      2. Configure hpsmdb to run during startup by executing the following command:

        chkconfig hpsmdb 345

      3. If the status is unused in any version of Red Hat Linux or SUSE Linux, start the daemon by executing the following command:

        • For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 with Service Pack 3 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with Service Pack 1

          /etc/init.d/hpsmdb start

        • For Red Hat Enterprise Linux (all versions)

          /etc/rc.d/init.d/hpsmdb start

          Or

          /etc/init.d/hpsmdb start

        NOTE: To install HP Systems Insight Manager on a system without OpenSSH or with a purchased version of SSH, use the --nodeps option on rpm.

        For example, rpm --nodeps -ivh followed by the rpm files.

  5. Install HP SIM using the .rpm files:

    rpm -Uvh hpsim*

    NOTE: The initialization of the upgrade is done in the background, which takes several minutes. To verify if the upgrade is 100% complete, view the file by executing the following command:

    cat /var/opt/mx/logs/initconfig.log

    NOTE: If PostgreSQL is used by HP SIM and hpsmdb is installed successfully, the HP SIM upgrade process automatically migrates the HP SIM data from PostgreSQL to hpsmdb. If hpsmdb cannot be installed successfully, the upgraded HP SIM continues to use PostgreSQL.

  6. If you have an Oracle database, install the Oracle JDBC driver, version 10.1.0.2.0 or newer. See the Oracle documentation, or visit the Oracle website at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html for additional information. If you have an older version of the JDBC driver already installed, do the following:

    1. Stop HP SIM.

    2. Search for a file named ojdbc14.jar in the /opt/mx/lib and /opt/mx/jboss/server/hpsim/lib directories and remove it from any locations where it is found.

    3. Download the new driver, version 10.1.0.2.0 or newer, from the Oracle website at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html.

    4. Copy the JDBC driver file (ojdbc14.jar) to the /opt/mx/lib and /opt/mx/jboss/server/hpsim/lib directories.

  7. Complete the upgrade by restarting the HP Systems Insight Manager daemons using mxstop and mxstart.

    HP SIM is now installed and initialized on the CMS. To browse to HP SIM, start the HP SIM graphical user interface (GUI) using Firefox, or Internet Explorer at http://localhost:280/.

    See Chapter 10 “Using the graphical user interface” for details.

  8. After upgrading to HP SIM 5.x, sign in to HP SIM, and run the Daily Device Identification task to ensure that all your associations are updated correctly.

    NOTE: Before running the Daily Device Identification task, if there is a WMI Mapper Proxy node configured from the previous release, you must first re-identify the WMI Mapper node and verify that the Properties page for the WMI Mapper is working properly. See “Configuring WMI Mapper” for details.

    To run the daily Identification task:

    1. Select Tasks & Logs>View All Scheduled Tasks. The All Scheduled Tasks page appears.

    2. Select the Daily Device Identification task.

    3. Click Run Now.

NOTE: Some tools in the Monitor Tools toolbox of previous versions of HP SIM have been removed from HP SIM 5.x. They either provide administrator-type functionality or access to administrator-level files to non-administrator users of HP Systems Insight Manager. If upgrading from a previous version, these tools remain in the Monitor Tools toolbox. You must review the contents of the Monitor Tools toolbox and any other toolboxes you have created, and remove these tools accordingly.

If upgrading from HP Systems Insight Manager 5.x or later, the list of tools include:

Monitor tools

General tools

type

General Tools

cat

General tools

find

General tools

  1. To remove the tools, sign in to HP Systems Insight Manager as administrative rights user.

  2. Select Options>Security>Users and Authorizations, and then click the Toolboxes tab.

  3. Select the Monitor Tools toolbox.

  4. Click Edit.

  5. In the Toolbox contents panel, select the tools you want to remove and click the << button.

  6. Click OK to save.

After upgrading to HP Systems Insight Manager to ensure that all network devices, racks, and enclosures are properly identified, run Identification. Select Options>Identify Systems. The Identify Systems page appears. See the HP Systems Insight Manager 5.3 User Guide at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for more information.
