Installation problems

Ron Lincicum_1 — Fri, 24 Sep 2004 08:42:12 GMT

Newbie question. We had played with SCM in the environment and just the other day I noticed that SIM was around. I've downloaded and installed as directed..but it fails setting up the repository. I'm sure this is something basic, probably due to something else using something else, ssh or something. Any help would be appreciated...

There's a set of pre-requisites in the installation guide. I know sometimes the temptation is to do an install without consulting the guide, but in this case it's a requirement.

I did that, with the exception of the java in a box piece, because I can't reboot the machine at the moment. If it's a kernel tweak, I have the parameters and can hopefully get some downtime soon.

If Java isn't functional yet, when mxinitconfig calls mxdomainmgr to start up, it won't be able to...

Kernel parms are set per the install doc. I've removed all previous versions of anything related and started from scratch. I go through step2 and all seems fine, but I never get the /opt/mx directory. So step three is not possible. The Steps:

1. Install Java, PostgreSQL, SSH, and WBEM:
swinstall -s /directory/depot T1458AA ixPostgreSQL T1471AA B8465BA
where directory is the path to the depot file and depot is the name of the depot file. For
example:
swinstall -s /tmp/HPSIM_download.depot T1458AA ixPostgreSQL T1471AA
B8465BA
2. Install HP Systems Insight Manager:
swinstall -s /directory/depot T2414BA
where directory is the path to the depot file and depot is the name of the depot file. For
example:
swinstall -s /tmp/HPSIM_download.depot T2414BA
3. Test the prerequisites:
/opt/mx/bin/mxinitconfig -l

Below are some ODD message I would not expect.
# swinstall -s /var/SIM.depot T2414BA
