VSE Management software installation 

HP SIM installation on HP/UX 

You need to install this on a non VM host machine. Eventually a VM guest (which you will have to migrate manually if you need to shutdown its host. 

Look for available bundles, 

mkdir -p /cd1 /cd2

ioscan -fnC disk

mount /dev/dsk/c0t2d0 /cd1

mount /dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /cd2

swlist -s/cd1 | grep -i vse

swlist -s/cd2 | grep -i vse

Note. to provide the Virtual FileDVD from the VM host, 

#hpvmmodify -P guest3 -a dvd:scsi::file:/data/vsoe_1.iso

#hpvmmodify -P guest3 -a dvd:scsi::file:/data/vsoe_2.iso

View what's already installed, 

swlist -lbundle | grep -i vse

Note. after the installation you should get those, 

T2786AC

VSEMgmt

VseAssist

Install some dependencies from DVD1, 

swlist -lproduct -s/cd1 | grep -i joob

swinstall -s/cd1 -x autoreboot=true Joob

Note. check after reboot, 

swlist -lproduct | grep -i joob

Mount the DVDs again, 

mount /dev/dsk/c0t2d0 /cd1

mount /dev/dsk/c0t1d0 /cd2

Install VSE from DVD2, 

swlist -s/cd2 | grep -i vse

swinstall -s/cd2 -x autoreboot=true VSEMgmt

Note. if anything fails, don't forget to clean up before you retry, 

#swremove VSEMgmt

#swremove VseAssist

Note. otherwise add "-x reinstall=true" to swinstall commands 

Note. check after reboot, 

swlist -lbundle | grep -i vse

Note. to remove the Virtual FileDVD from the VM host, 

#hpvmmodify -P guest3 -d dvd:scsi::file:/data/vsoe_1.iso

#hpvmmodify -P guest3 -d dvd:scsi::file:/data/vsoe_2.iso

You may use Oracle instead of PGSQL, 

scp oracle@ORACLESERVER:/u01/product/11.1.0/ora1110/sqldeveloper/jdbc/lib/ojdbc14.jar /opt

ll /opt/*.jar

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mx/bin

mxoracleconfig -h ORACLESERVER -n 1521 -d sim -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -j /opt/ojdbc14.jar

note. the database needs to have the "AL32UTF8" character set 

note. tablespace of 1GB and temporary tablespace of 100MB is fine. HP SIM and VSE installation takes around 100MB. The free space will be used for their application data. 

note. the user USERNAME needs to have the "dba" role 

note. if you need to start over, drop the user, recreate it and rerun mxoracleconfig with the '-f' option 

Configure HP SIM, 

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mx/bin

mxinitconfig -l

mxinitconfig -a

note. if something goes wrong during the database configuration, 

#cd /var/opt/mx/logs

#ls -ltr

note. you should get a "Completed all tasks successfully.", and tablespace used something about 50MB 

note. I used to have the "hpsmdb failed to start" and "/sbin/init.d/hpsmdb[25]: 16637 Memory fault(coredump)" error, hence the Oracle choice 

note. if you need to start over, remove the config (mxinitconfig -r) and proceed again 

If you need the manuals, 

MANPATH=`cat /etc/MANPATH`

export MANPATH

man mxinitconfig

VSE integration into HP SIM 

Configure VSE Management software 

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/vse/bin

vseinitconfig -a

note. you should get a "Completed all tasks successfully.", and tablespace now used something about 10MB more 

note. if anything goes wrong, 

#tail -100 /var/opt/vse/logs/vseinitconfig.log

HP SIM maintainance 

Start the daemons (and go take a cup of coffee the time it starts...), 

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mx/bin

mxstart

#/sbin/init.d/hpsim start

note. Database needs to be started. Don't forger the listener if it's Oracle. 

stop the daemons, 

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/mx/bin

mxstop

#/sbin/init.d/hpsim stop
