Again, go to the HPSIM Reference Library.
Full documentation is there - http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim

Do I need to re-install Ver 5.2 or can simply go for upgrade.??

Any precaution or known issues.

Hi,

I just upgraded HP SIM 5.1.1 to 5.2.2 last week : launch HP SIM 5.2 setup (like a new install). It tells you that it will install HP SIM or upgrade it if a compatible version is found.

You will have to specify the credentials for the database connection and for HP SIM service (it will select automatically a custom setup with installed components which needs an upgrade).

I do not need to do anything particularly. For security, you can backup your HP SIM Server (files and database) before... ;-)
