HP SIM Upgrade.  If you upgraded HP SIM, follow any postinstallation instructions described in the HP SIM documentation. Make sure that you have installed all required HP-UX or application patches.

Stop and restart HP SIM by executing the following commands on the CMS:

# /opt/mx/bin/mxstop
# /opt/mx/bin/mxstart

It might take several minutes for HP SIM to restart completely. To verify that HP SIM has finished restarting, execute the following command on the CMS:

# /opt/mx/bin/mxuser -lt

This command lists the users defined in HP SIM. If an error is displayed, wait several minutes and try the command again.

Verify gWLM Communication and Redeploy Your SRDs.  If you are using gWLM, execute the following command on the CMS to verify that the CMS is configured properly and can communicate with installed agents:

# /opt/gwlm/bin/gwlm list

If the output of this command lists various policies, the CMS is configured properly. If not, error messages are displayed. Wait a few seconds and try the command again. If you still get errors, perform the actions recommended in the error messages.

Once communication is verified, redeploy any SRDs. In addition, for partition-based SRDs, follow the procedure described next.

Rediscover Partition-Based SRDs.  If you are using gWLM, and you have upgraded the gWLM agents in the partitions from gWLM A.02.xx to gWLM A.04.00.07, you cannot add other partitions in the same complex to the SRD if you have either of the following types of partition-based SRDs:

  • A Virtual Partition Srd Inside An Npartition

  • An nPartition SRD using Instant Capacity

Reestablish the SRD using Procedure 3-16.

Procedure 3-16 Rediscover Partition-Based SRDs

  1. With the SRD deployed, rediscover the SRD. For a virtual partition SRD, execute the following command:

    # /opt/gwlm/bin/gwlm discover --type=vpar \
      --file=/tmp/myfile.xml hosts

    For an nPartition-based SRD, execute the following command:

    # gwlm discover --type=npar \
      --file=/tmp/myfile.xml hosts

    In these commands, replace hosts with a space-separated list of the partitions in the SRD.

  2. Make the following adjustments to /tmp/myfile.xml, as described in gwlmxml(4):

    • Ensure that the mode attribute for the sharedResourceDomain element is set to the desired value (Managed or Advisory):

      mode="Managed"

    • Ensure that the interval attribute for the sharedResourceDomain element is set to the desired value:

      interval="x"

    • Ensure that the ticapMode attribute for the sharedResourceDomain element is set to all if gWLM should allocate Temporary Instant Capacity (TiCAP) when needed:

      ticapMode="all"

    • Ensure that the workloadReference entries in the compartment definitions are correct, and adjust the names in the workload definitions themselves. For example, you might see “host.OTHER.2” instead of “host.OTHER”.

  3. Import the file to re-create the SRD:

    # gwlm import 

    Because the SRD was already deployed, the new SRD definition is deployed on import, taking the place of the original SRD.

Verify Capacity Advisor Data Migration.  If you are using Capacity Advisor, use the command capprofile -lt to verify that previously collected historical data has been migrated to the new VSE Management Software database. This command lists the workload profiles and the time range of the data stored in the database. For more information, see capprofile(1M).

Restore Scheduled Capacity Advisor Tasks.  If you are using Capacity Advisor, restore each of your automatically scheduled Capacity Advisor data collection tasks using Procedure 3-17.

Procedure 3-17 Restore Scheduled Capacity Advisor Tasks

  1. Select Tasks & Logs->View All Scheduled Tasks from the Capacity Advisor menu bar.

  2. Select the task from the list Collect Capacity Advisor Data.

  3. Click Edit.

  4. Click Schedule.

  5. Clear the Disable this task check box.

  6. Click Done.

  7. Verify that the task you just edited is in the list and now shows Periodic in the Schedule column, along with the date of the next collection.
