HP SIM & VSE

David Willams — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 13:15:54 GMT

I had a doubt while reading some of the topics ...

What is SIM(Systems Integration Manager)... Why do we need it..

Does VSE and SIM go together.. Why do we use both of them..

You invoke it by specifying the full path name (/opt/sim/bin/sim, for example
- I'm not sure what it really is) or by adding the full path to your PATH variable.

As to how you play around with it, I'll leave that to you.
