Installing the Software on the CMS

Procedure 3-6 Install or Upgrade HP SIM and VSE Management Software

1. Enter the following command on the CMS: 

   # /usr/sbin/swinstall -x autoreboot=true \ -s path-to-depot-file HPSIM-HP-UX VSEMgmt

   This command installs HP SIM version C.05.01.00.01.xx and the VSE Management Software version A.03.00.01.

   	IMPORTANT: The system reboots after the installation.

   The actions that occur after system reboot depend on whether this is a new installation of HP SIM or an upgrade to an existing HP SIM installation.

   New installation of HP SIM

   Configure HP SIM by entering the following command on the CMS:

   # mxinitconfig -a

   Upgrade of an existing installation of HP SIM

   The system automatically runs mxinitconfig after the reboot. This can take up to 20 minutes to complete. Do not attempt to run any HP SIM commands or VSE management commands, or access HP SIM through the web interface at this time.

   Other steps may be required to complete the HP SIM upgrade. For example, you may need to re-identify all discovered systems to complete the database upgrade for existing systems in the database.

2. Configure the VSE Management Software by entering the following command: 

   # /opt/vse/bin/vseinitconfig -a

   The vseinitconfig command logs status, errors, and exceptions to the file /var/opt/vse/logs/vseinitconfig.log. Review the output of this command to ensure there are no errors.

3. When vseinitconfig finishes, you are prompted to restart HP SIM. Type “y” and press Enter to restart HP SIM.

4. (Optional) Execute the command catman to make sure that the VSE Management Software manpages can be listed by keyword using man -k.

Procedure 3-7 Install VSE Management Software Using Existing Installation of HP SIM

1. Enter the following command on the CMS: 

   # /usr/sbin/swinstall -x autoreboot=true \ -s path-to-depot-file VSEMgmt

2. Configure the VSE Management Software by entering the following command: 

   # /opt/vse/bin/vseinitconfig -a

   The vseinitconfig command logs status, errors, and exceptions to the file /var/opt/vse/logs/vseinitconfig.log. Review the output of this command to ensure there are no errors.

3. When vseinitconfig finishes, you are prompted to restart HP SIM. Type “y” and press Enter to restart HP SIM.

4. (Optional) Execute the command catman to make sure that the VSE Management Software manpages can be listed by keyword using man -k.
