Is upgrade to HPSIM 5.1 imperative?
1.) Is upgrading to HPSIM 5.1 really a must (especially in light of all the issues reported)?
2.) How will the DST issues affect those who choose to wait until "a more stable" version is released?

Re: Is upgrade to HPSIM 5.1 imperative?
If you cannot upgrade to HP Systems Insight Manager to v5.1 by the March 11th start date, the core features of HP Systems Insight Manager will continue to work. The issues that you will end up encountering are that your scheduled tasks may be an hour off. As events are received, their received time in HP SIM may be an hour off in the graphical interface. There is no way to correct the received time within HP SIM for events. As soon as practical, upgrade to HP SIM 5.1 so that the November transition will be handled correctly

Re: Is upgrade to HPSIM 5.1 imperative?
I will probably try v 5.1 at some point (on a clone of the prod system) - but it will only be useable if the problems introduced in previous updates, particularly related to VM's, have been fixed. Even without these issues, this is a full install, with downtime, etc.
HP should provide a patch to correct the time issue, without a complete new version install being required, such as can be done with any stand-alone Java installation.

Re: Is upgrade to HPSIM 5.1 imperative?
I went for the approach of removing HPSIM 5.0 and the associated PMP and VMM products.
Secure the old HPSIM database as I can still access that via ODBC to get access to Historical data.
I'd saved details of discovery inclusion and exclusion ranges, events handling tasks, users etc. And also I use an XML file to reload licenses and a bat file to update wbem characteristics for VM servers.
The installation of HPSIM 5.1 for a new install went with no errors and VM's etc. were discovered and married up as soon as the VMHosts were licensed and registered.

Re: Is upgrade to HPSIM 5.1 imperative?
I also deleted the tasks, and recreated them but that did not work. I even had our expert VB person go over the scripts, just to make sure that there was no incompatible scripts.
So, after several hours of confusion and frustration, I removed HPSIM and installed 5.1. Fortunately, I had previously saved all my customizations and config settings. But, an upgrade that should have taken 1 - 2 hours, ended up taking 6 hours. After the new install, the same Custom Commands began working w/o issues.
In short, I am another one who is very unsatisfied w/ the upgrade install provided in this new version of HPSIM. HP engineers, take heed to all these concerns and complaints. We love HPSIM, but want to keep loving it.

Re: Is upgrade to HPSIM 5.1 imperative?
The syntax for the java update utility to check the current java version is "java -jar tzupdater.jar -V". To perform the update itself is "java -jar tzupdater.jar -u" Running without the final switch displays all of the options. "java" is tha already present java executable.
