Installing and Configuring the Software

Install Java, PostgreSQL, SSH, and WBEM:

swinstall -s /directory/depot T1458AAventi ixPostgreSQL T1471AA B8465BA

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 T1458AAventi ixPostgreSQL T1471AA B8465BA

Install HP Systems Insight Manager:

swinstall -s /directory/depot T2414BA

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 T2414BA

Test the prerequisites:

/opt/mx/bin/mxinitconfig -l

Initialize HP Systems Insight Manager:

/opt/mx/bin/mxinitconfig -a

Note: This step could take several minutes. After it completes, view the file /var/opt/mx/logs/initconfig.log to verify the initialization completed.

Verify that the mxagent, mxdomainmgr, and mxdtf daemons are running:

ps -ef | grep mx

If they are not running, start them:

/opt/mx/bin/mxstart

(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 command:

   /sbin/init.d/SnmpMaster stop

3. Restart the SNMP Master agent and all subagents with the command:

   /usr/sbin/snmpd

	NOTE: After installation is complete you must logout of the operating system and then log back in to set all the correct file permissions and system environmentals.
