files and the cliuser user name and password in the database password file

located in the installation directory for the 3PAR System Reporting Tools

sampler (default file path

C:/Program Files/3PAR/System Reporter/dbpwfile

).

NOTE: If you are upgrading from an earlier version of the System Reporter or re-

installing an existing 2.8 version for SQLite, and if you wish to retain the data

collected from the previous installation, you must specify the same (existing)

database, otherwise a new database will be created.

System Reporter 2.8 will automatically convert the earlier release database tables

into the format that it needs. If you wish to retain the tables in an earlier format

you must make a backup copy of the database before upgrading.

NOTE: When upgrading from an earlier version of System reporter (for MySQL

only), the Sampling process may take a while to start sampling. This delay is

necessary to address an issue related to case insensitiveness with default installs of

MySQL.

NOTE: See

3.8.2.4 Creating MySQL Users and Schema

on page 3.20 and

3.8.3.2

Creating the Oracle Users for System Reporter

on page 3.22 for additional

information about cliuser and webuser.

These users correspond with the Apache HTTP Server privilege levels (see

About

Apache HTTP Server Authorization and Access Control

on page 3.34) and are also

defined in the Apache Server HTTP

config.tcl

files (see

Modifying the Apache

HTTP Server Configuration Files

on page 7.23).
