The HP Systems Insight Manager Setup window appears. The Setup window displays links to the following documentation:

  • ReadMe (Adobe format)

  • Release Notes (Adobe format)

  • Installation and User Guide (Adobe format)

Note: The installing account and the HP SIM service account, both included in the local admins group, will be the initial login account.

  1. Click Install to start the install process. The HP Systems Insight Manager Setup "Installation status" window appears with the following three stages:

    • Pre-Installation. Examines this system for local instances of MSDE, SQL Server 2000, or Oracle 9i and displays the Optional MSDE 2000 SP3a installation window if none are found.

      NOTE: If the server reboots, the setup shell restarts automatically. If setup was initiated from a mapped drive and the mapped drive is not available on reboot, then the setup shell fails to launch.

    • Installation. Launches the Install Shell and installs HP SIM and other HP management software products.

    • Post-Installation. Completes the import of PMP data when doing an upgrade.

      Note: The HP Systems Insight Manager Setup Installation status window remains open, and when each stage of the setup is complete, it states, "Done." When a stage is in progress, it states, "In Progress." If this is a clean installation, the status for the Post-Installation states, "Not Run." After HP SIM and all components have been installed, click Finish to close the HP Systems Insight Manager Setup Installation status window and return to the desktop.

  2. From the HP Systems Insight Manager SetUp Check window, click Install MSDE to start the install process.

    If supported versions of MSDE, Microsoft SQL Server, or Oracle9i are not detected locally, you are prompted to install MSDE 2000 Service Pack 3A or point to a remote SQL Server or Oracle 9i installation later.

    Note: For a list of supported databases, refer to HP Systems Insight Manager Release Notes at http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/infolibrary.html for details.

    Note: If you are installing the HP ProLiant Essentials Performance Management Pack and want to connect to a local or remote Oracle database, the Oracle client application support must be installed on the server where PMP is installed. To install the Oracle client application support, refer to Perform a custom install for HP ProLiant Essentials Performance Management Pack:.

    After MSDE installation is complete, the installer reboots your system, if required. If the server reboots, the Setup Shell restarts automatically and then repeats the previous step to launch the installer. You will not see the option to install MSDE again.

  3. The Welcome to the HP Systems Insight Manager Installer window appears. Click Install to the start installation.

  4. The Select Installation Type window appears. Click Custom to select the individual components under the Available Components for Install and configure them during installation.

    Note: If a component is not listed as being available for installation on the CMS, then the HP SIM install shell has determined one of the following:

    • The installation prerequisites for the component have not been met.

    • The component is currently installed.

    If the component that is present on the CMS is an older version than what is bundled with the HP SIM install shell and it supports an in-place upgrade, it appears in the component list.

  5. The Custom Install-Software Selection window appears. This window displays the complete list of the available components with a checkbox next to each one. If the checkbox is selected and disabled, the component is deemed a mandatory component and cannot be cleared. The amount of required disk space is also listed for each component.

      Note: To delete a group name, select the group name, and click Delete.

    4. From the User Access window configure the System Management Homepagefor the following access types:

      • Select Anonymous Access to enable anonymous access to unsecured pages.

      • Select Local Access-> Anonymous or Local Access-> Administrator to set up the System Management Homepage to automatically grant local IP addresses at the selected access level.

        Caution: Selecting Local Access with Administrator privileges provides any users with access to the local console full access without prompting them for a user name or password.

    5. Click Next. The Trust Mode window appears.

    6. Select the level of security you want to provide from one of the three trust modes:

      • Trust By Certificate

        1. Select Trust By Certificate, and click Next. The Trusted Certificates window appears. The Trusted Certificates window allows trusted certificate files to be added to the Trusted Certificate List.

        2. Click Add File to browse and select any certificates to be included in the Trusted Certificate List. The Select File window appears. If an invalid file name is entered in the file name field, an error message appears, indicating the file does not exist. Click OK to select another file, or click Open to add the file to the Trusted Certificate List. The Trusted Certificate List appears. Click Next.

          Note: If you click Next without adding any certificates to the list, and no certificates exist from a previous installation, a message appears, indicating that if you do not specify any trusted certificates, HP SIM cannot access the HP Insight Management Agent on this system. Click OK if you do not want HP SIM to access the Insight Management Agent on this system, or click Cancel to close the window and add the trusted certificates to the list.

          Note: The Trust By Certificates option enables the System Management Homepage system and the HP SIM system to establish a trust relationship by means of certificates. This mode is the strongest method of security because it requires certificate data and verifies the digital signature before enabling access.

        or

        1. Click Import. The Import Server Certificate window appears.

        2. Enter the name or IP address of the server whose certificate you want to import.

        3. Click Get Cert. The certificate information appears.

        4. Verify the certificate information. If you want to add this certificate to the Trusted Certificate List, click Accept and the certificate is added to the Trusted Certificate List, or click Cancel if you do not want to add it to the Trusted Certificate List. The Trusted Certificate List appears. Click Next.

          Note: You can add an unlimited number of trusted certificates.

          Note: To delete a certificate, select the certificate, and click Delete. The selected certificate is removed.

        5. From the IP Binding window, select the IP Binding check box if you would like to bind to IP adddresses that match a specific subnet and mask. Click Next.

        6. From the IP Restricted Logins window, select the Enable IP Restricted Logins checkbox if you would like to include or exclude specific IP addresses or IP address ranges. Click Next, and the Summary Panel appears.

      • Trust By Name

        1. Select Trust By Name. Click Next.

        2. The Trusted Server window appears. Enter the names of the servers you want to trust.

          Note: Although the Trust By Name mode is a slightly stronger method of security than the Trust All mode, it still leaves your system vulnerable to security attacks. The Trust By Name mode sets up the System Management Homepage to only accept certain requests from servers with the HP SIM names designated in the Trust By Name field. The Trust By Name option is easy to configure and can prevent non-malicious access. For example, you might want to use the Trust By Name option if you have a secure network, but your network has two groups of administrators in two separate divisions. The Trust By Name option would prevent one group from installing software to the wrong system. This option does not verify anything other than the HP SIM server name submitted.

          Note: The server name cannot contain the following characters:

          ~ ! ` @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + = " : ' < > ? , | ;

        3. Click Add to add the name of a server you want to trust. Click Next.

          Note: If you click Next without adding any server names to the list, an error message appears, indicating that if you do not specify any trusted server names, HP SIM cannot access the Insight Management Agent on this system. Click OK to proceed without trusting any systems, or click Cancel to close the window and add server names to the list.

          Note: To delete a certificate, select the certificate and click Delete. The selected certificate is removed.

        4. From the IP Binding window, select the IP Binding check box if you would like to bind to IP adddresses that match a specific subnet and mask. Click Next.

        5. The IP Restricted Logins window appears. Select the Enable IP Restricted Logins checkbox if you would like to include or exclude specific IP addresses or IP address ranges. Click Next, and the The Summary Panel appears.

      • Trust All

        1. Select Trust All. Click Next.

        2. The IP Binding window appears. Select the IP Binding checkbox if you would like to bind to IP adddresses that match a specific subnet and mask. Click Next.

          Note: The Trust All option leaves your system vulnerable to security attacks and sets up the System Management Homepage to accept certain requests from any server. For example, you might want to use Trust All if you have a secure network, and everyone in the network is trusted.

          Note: You can add up to five subnet IP address/netmask pairs.

          Note: If you click IP Binding but do not specify the IP address/netmask then you might not be able to connect to the System Management Homepage.

          The IP Restricted Logins window appears. The IP Restricted Logins window enables you to select specific IP addresses or IP address ranges to include or exclude from gaining login access. Although optional, the System Management Homepage can restrict login access based on the IP addresses of the machine attempting to gain access.

        3. Select Enable IP Restricted Logins, and click Next.The IP Addresses to Include window appears. This window enables you to specify the IP address or IP address ranges to grant login access permission. If there are IP addresses in the Inclusion list, then only those IP addresses are enabled for login privileges. If there are no IP addresses in the Inclusion list, then login privileges are permitted to all IP addresses that are not in the Exclusion list.

          Note: A single address and ranges of addresses can be accepted in the IP Restricted Logins window. Enter the single address in the first box.

        4. In the Include field, enter a beginning IP address to which you want to grant login access. In the To field, enter an ending IP address to which you want to grant login access. All IP addresses that fall between the beginning and ending IP addresses are granted login access. Click Add. The IP address or IP address range is added to the Exclusion list. Select an IP address or IP address range, and click Delete to remove it from the Exclusion list. Click Next.

          Note: If you entered an invalid IP address or IP address range, an error message appears indicating the IP address is invalid. Click OK. Enter a valid IP address or IP address range, and click Add again. The IP Addresses to Exclude window appears.

          In the Exclude field, enter a beginning IP address to which you want to deny login access.

        5. In theTo field, enter an ending IP address to which you want to deny login access. All IP addresses that fall between the beginning and ending IP addresses are denied login access.

        6. Click Add. The IP address or IP address range is added to the Inclusion list. Select an IP address or IP address range, and click Delete to remove it from the Inclusion list. Click Next.

          Note: If you entered an invalid IP address or IP address range, an error message appears, indicating the IP address is invalid. Click OK. Enter a valid IP address or IP address range, and click Add again.

          Note: If Next is selected without adding any IP addresses to either the Include or Exclude lists, a warning message appears stating, IP Restricted Login checkbox will be marked as disabled. Do you want to proceed without adding any IP Address restrictions? If you select OK, the IP Restricted Login option on the IP Restricted Login window is cleared.

      The Summary Panel appears. The Summary Panel lists the location where the System Management Homepage is installed, the amount of space the installation requires, and the summary of the options that you specified during the installation.

    7. Click Next. The installation process is started. Click Finish to exit the wizard.
