Installing HP SCOM features
Installation and upgrade considerations
If you have previous versions of HP SCOM features installed on your server, read the considerations
in this section before you begin the installation.
IMPORTANT: HP recommends that you complete this installation at a time when the server running
the software you are upgrading can be stopped, such as during a scheduled maintenance period:
•
In rare cases, the server must be restarted at the end of the upgrade procedure.
•
When upgrading an instance of the DMS, HP BladeSystem enclosures and servers managed
by that DMS might not be available in SCOM until the upgrade process is complete and
servers and enclosures managed by the DMS have been discovered and monitored.
•
When migrating from the EMS, management for HP BladeSystem enclosures might not be
available in SCOM until the migration process is complete and enclosures managed by the
DMS have been discovered and monitored.
•
Close all applications, including these applications:
◦ The Operations console (if it is installed on this computer).
◦ The DMC (if it is installed on this computer)
◦ The Windows NT event viewer
◦ PowerShell windows that are running cmdlets provided by HP
HP BladeSystem Management Pack, version 1.x
If a 1.x version of the HP BladeSystem Management Pack is installed, see “Upgrading from 1.x
versions of HP BladeSystem Management Pack” (page 19) before starting this procedure.
HP ProLiant Linux and VMware Management Pack
Beginning with HP Insight Control for Microsoft System Center 7.0, the HP ProLiant Linux and
VMware Management Pack is not supported. It has been replaced by two separate management
packs: the HP ProLiant Linux Management Pack and the HP ProLiant VMware Management Pack.
If you have the HP ProLiant Linux and VMware Management Pack that was included with HP Insight
Control for Microsoft System Center 6.3 installed, there are extra steps to perform after you have
installed and imported the management packs included with later versions of HP Insight Control
for Microsoft System Center. See
“Step 14” (page 19) .
Other management packs
If previous versions of other management packs are installed and imported in SCOM, these
management packs are upgraded when you import the latest versions into SCOM;
previously-installed management packs that have already been imported do not need to be deleted
or removed.
DMS, DMC, and tools
If previous versions of the DMS, DMC, or tools are installed, they are upgraded automatically
when you install newer versions of HP Insight Control for Microsoft System Center. When you
upgrade a DMS to a newer version, information about the enclosures and servers it manages is
preserved. You do not have to migrate enclosures or servers.
Installing the HP SCOM Management Packs
