Solution: If the HP Version Control Agent is present on these target systems, then the Install Software
and Firmware tool can be used to distribute agents, Support Packs and other components to
Windows 2000 systems.

Tools

The message /tmp/Acmd42947.bat[26]: /usr/dt/bin/dtterm: not found might
appear when running the following tools on HP-UX 11.31:

Retrieve Bastille Configuration file

Deploy Bastille Configuration

Consolidated Logging Wizard

Configuration Synchronization Wizard

To eliminate this problem:
1.

Remove the above tools using the CLI command mxtool -r -t .

2.

Edit the tool definition XML files, replacing instances of dtterm and hpterm with xterm.
The above-mentioned tools can be found in the following TDef files:

security_patch_check.xml

clog_windows.xml

3.

Add the tools again using mxtool -a -f

4.

Run the tool.

-------------------------------------------------------------
If a user is created with the operator template, then the user is automatically given authorizations
to run any CMS tool created with the Run as option set to root/Administrator.
Solution: To avoid granting users access to CMS tools, when creating new users, the operator
template must not be used and authorization must be configured separately. Note that only HP
SIM administrators can create CMS tools.

Upgrade

If you are upgrading to HP SIM 5.3 or later on Windows 2008 64-bit, first verify that OpenSSH
3.7.1 is not stuck in a starting state. If it is, select End Process for the cygrunsrv.exe process
and any sshd.exe processes using the Windows Task Manager.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If HP SIM is installed on a Windows XP system with MSDE as the database, you must manually
upgrade MSDE to SQL Server 2005 to upgrade the Windows XP system to Windows Vista.
-------------------------------------------------------------
If you upgrade to Windows Vista on a HP SIM server running Windows XP, you might no longer
be able to browse into HP SIM. HP recommends turning off the Windows Vista User Account
Control features, and you might/ need to change the privileges of the SIMinstalldir\config
directory to get HP SIM running again.

UUID

All server hardware has what is called a UUID available to the operating system through the ROM
BIOS. This UUID is use to uniquely identify the hardware regardless of the operating system running
on it. While there is a standard way to decode and format/display this value, not all operating
system vendors have complied with that standard. For software that did not follow the standard,
HP SIM converts this value and displays it in the standard way. This can result in some differences
if the UUID is viewed through a given operating system tool such as dmidecode.
The SMBIOS stores the 16 bytes of System UUID as:

00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15

Dmidecode displays:

00010203-0405-0607-0809-101112131415
