HP SIM 5.0 SP4

[Amrendra Mishra]

Hi,

I am trying to install HP SIM 5.0 SP4 on an existing MS SQL Server 2000. While databse initialization, it fails. The error is as follows:

etails can be found in the log file at C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\logs\initconfig.log
[04-07-2006][12:25:43][HP Systems Insight Manager]Error:Database initialization failed
[04-07-2006][12:25:43][HP Systems Insight Manager]Error:Database initialization failed
[04-07-2006][12:25:44][HP Systems Insight Manager]Shutdown.

I have tried logging in as local administrator. Also, I changed the TCP/IP port to 1453 and tried installing but in vain.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Hi Amrendra,
Try stopping your Anti Virus software then doing the install again.

It's a cheap and cheerful answer, but it's worked for me on installs and upgrades in the past.

Make sure the username you are using has DBO rights in your db too (especially if it is remote). Need that to create the schema...

Hi Darrin, Terence,

Tried your suggestions, no joy.

Did you look in the initconfig.log file? Was there anything you saw that was significant?
