Upgrading from SCM 3.0 to HP Systems Insight Manager 4.2

Verify that SCM is running by entering the following:

ps -ef | grep mx

Wait some time, and if SCM is not running, start the service:

/opt/mx/bin/mxstart

Tune the kernel using the Java Out-of-Box fileset. For more information, go to http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/java2/outofbox/index.html. This product can be available for you to install with HP SIM, either as part of the download depot file containing HP SIM 5.0 or from the Application Release media. The kernel parameter values it adjusts are listed in the following table.

	NOTE: Java Out-of-Box is a stand-alone bundle that reboots the system after it is installed.

Java Out-of-Box settings

	NOTE: The maxusers parameter is obsolete in HP-UX 11i v2 (September 2004 or later) (B.1 1 .23).

Using SAM or the HP-UX Kernel Configuration tool (kcweb), complete the following manual parameter adjustments.

1. Set the dbc_max_pct kernel parameter, which is the percentage of physical memory that can be dynamically allocated for the data buffer cache. It defaults to 50%, which is usually too high. Set this variable to the percentage of your system physical memory that equals approximately 200 MB. For example, a server with 1 GB of RAM should have this value set at 20%.

   Note: This value cannot be less than dbc_min_pct, which cannot be less than 1% of your system physical memory.

2. Increase the nfile parameter to at least 12000. This value might be increased to 30000 depending on your environment. If you get an error that you cannot open a file, increase this value.

3. For proper database operation, set the "semmns" kernel parameter to a minimum value of 2048 and the semmni kernel parameter to a minimum value of 1024.

   Note: For HP-UX 11i v2 (September 2004 or later) (B.11.23), these parameters are dynamic, and when you modify the parameters, a reboot of the system is not necessary.

Install PostgreSQL, SSH, and WBEM:

swinstall -s /directory/depot 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 ixPostgreSQL T1471AA B8465BA

	NOTE: To verify that the WBEM (cimserver, cimserverd) and SSH (sshd) daemons are running, enter the following commands: psef | grep wbem psef | grep ssh

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

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) Configure SNMP to send traps to the CMS:

1. Add the full host name or IP address of the CMS as a trapdest in the file /etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf.

   trap-dest: 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

Log in to the HP Systems Insight Manager GUI. For assistance with this, refer to Chapter 10 “Using the Graphical User Interface”.

If, after logging in to HP Systems Insight Manager, you find that some items (toolboxes, users, tools, systems, system groups, or authorizations) did not upgrade correctly, perform the following. Otherwise, continue to step 10.

IMPORTANT: These steps must be performed in the order specified. You can, however, start with the first step that applies to you. For example, if node groups and authorizations failed to migrate, but everything else migrated properly, start with step e.

Using the GUI, add the default WBEM user name and password to the Global Protocol Settings page.

Note: An account for at least one of the WBEM user name and password combinations must exist on the CMS.

1. Select OptionsProtocol SettingsGlobal Protocol Settings.

2. In the Default WBEM settings section, ensure that the Enable WBEM checkbox is selected and add the default WBEM user name and password.

3. Click OK.
