HP Systems Insight Manager has gone gold master and is working its way to posting on the web, hopefully as early as tomorrow, 12/19/03. Check the main management page at http://www.hp.com/servers/manage and click on the HP SIM link for up-to-date info and download details.

Is this the next generation product to CIM7 with that odd name? Or should I contact my rep and ask?

Systems Insight Manager is the logical succesor to Insight Manager 7 and (HP-UX) System Control Manager.

Very cool, I'm pretty excited to try it out. Looks like its not yet available for download, but I'll keep checking every few hours.

I just downloaded both the Windows and HP-UX versions of HP Systems Insight Manager from Software Depot at http://www.software.hp.com/ See the featured products on the right side of the page.

Thanks for the link, i'm downloading now. I guess they just have it hidden away a little for the time being.

I read the install doc, and I saw that SIM must be installed on a server where CIM7 has never put its feets on.

1) Really ? Should it work if we uninstall CIM7 prior to install SIM ?

2) Is there a way to retrieve data from the CIM7 SQL DB during installation ? I don't speak about the tool that will be available to retrieve data from a CIM7 server.

Nevertheless, great news in fact.

Guillome, I haven't tried it yet but if you remove IM7 and the IM7 registry key, you should be able to install it on the same box.

I am in the same situation. Any word on the uninstall and removal of registry keys allows the install?

fwiw, the main gotcha would appear to be that both IM7 and HPSIM want to use the same ports for the HTTP and HTTPS servers (280 and 50000 rsptly).

As a compromise, I have HPSIM on a seperate system, but one SQL server hosts both databases ...

The installation wizard checks the registry for the existence for a previous installation of HP Toptools and Insight Manager. The keys being searched for are: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Hewlett-Packard\TopTools and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\COMPAQ\Insight Manager XE First make sure that the application is uninstalled, then check for the presence of the keys. If one or more exist, delete the entry
