https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/new-install-systems-insight-manager/m-p/3437989#M7929 Are you specifying an existing SQL 2000 database during the SIM installation? If you install MSDE as the database during the SIM installation you should not see this problem.

If that collation sequence had been changed from the default (SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS) then the SIM installer has problems when creating the necessary database tables. <BR /><BR />You will need to create an SQL database using the default collation sequence before installing SIM Tue, 07 Dec 2004 08:51:29 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/new-install-systems-insight-manager/m-p/3437987#M7927 Joel Rubenstein 2004-12-07T08:51:29Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/new-install-systems-insight-manager/m-p/3437988#M7928 Yes, this is my case. But how can I create a database before install ? Because when I start a new setup, SIM create self the database ? I could install it but changing the collation during install. But after that I get this error when I go in automatic discovery :<BR />The automatic discovery process has not been configured in the database. If this is a fresh intall, the most likely cause is a cancelled installation, try reinstalling HP Systems Insight Manager Tue, 07 Dec 2004 10:27:21 GMT https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/new-install-systems-insight-manager/m-p/3437988#M7928 Ritter Philippe 2004-12-07T10:27:21Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/server-management-systems/new-install-systems-insight-manager/m-p/3437989#M7929 Are you specifying an existing SQL 2000 database during the SIM installation?

Then you should be able to install SIM by specifying this new database instance.
