upgrade HP SIM 4.0 to 4.1

[simonwirral]

I wish to upgrade HP SIM 4.0 to 4.1
HP say there is no upgrade path, so I was thinking if I stop HP SIM export the database (running on MSSQL 2k)
Uninstall - Then install 4.1 and reinport the database I shouldn't loose too much and I get the extra functions of 4.1

Anyone see any big problems with this idea?

Thanks
Simon.

It didn't work for me, I believe not all database fields are the same in 4.1. I tried upgrading to 4.1 that way but there were too many strange things that did not work etc. According HP Support Sim 4.2 will future an upgrade from 4.0 or 4.1 to 4.2

I suggest be patient and wait for the next release :). I case ou do want to upgrade make sure you copy your config directory.

lets just hope that HP put in an upgrade option into 4.2

I too am interested in moving to 4.1. However, what happens to the certificate that was generated? Will I have to reconfigure all remote machines to accept this certificate? If so, that stinks since I have over 1000 servers across the globe to do and some of the WAN links are slow :-(

I would think that an upgrade should just upgrade the programe and not make any change to your config (PLEASE HP) I don't fancy reconfig all my server and i only have 73 on HP SIM.
