Upgrade HP SIM from 5.1 to 6.3 HELP!

DGI_HP — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 09:45:06 GMT

I am completely rookie on this and I need help. We have C7000 enclosure and many different blades, and I am go to upgrade these.

But first I need to upgrade HP SIM?

When I start the "integrated installer" I get a message of things that needs to be upgraded before I upgrade??!!

Do I need to upgrade to an lower version of HP SIM before I upgrade to 6.3?

Do anyone have an guide that's easy to use for this?

Thanks for all help I can get.

I think you need to upgrade to 6.0 first before you can upgrade to 6.3.

But coming from a 5.1 install it might be just better to do a clean install, there is a data migration tool that lets you migrate settings and such to a new SIM install.

Hi and thanks for your answer.

It seems that I have to have version 5.3 of HP SIM to use data migration tool:(

Do you have any other suggestions?

I wil try to upgrade to version 6.0 or 5.3, but I get a message to upgrade HP Virtual Machine Management Pack 3.6 (for HP SIM 5.3) og version 6 (for HP SIM 6.0)

Where to I find this Virtual Machine Management Pack, so I can upgrade just this?
