HP Toptools for Unicenter

User Guide

2.3 Post Installation Recommendations


The Toptools server must have its discovery database cleared AFTER the installation of the Toptools server bridge
component. This is because the devices discovered by Unicenter are sent to Toptools to populate MEDS (the
Toptools database).

To clear the Toptools database:

• On the Windows NT Service Control Panel, set: “HP Toptools Services” to manual startup.

• Reboot the system.

• Select

Start->Programs->HP Toptools->Clear Database

to launch the following screen:

• Select “Discovered Devices (MEDS)” and press the OK button to completely clear the database.

• On the Windows NT Service Control Panel, change “HP Toptools Services” to automatic startup.

2.4 Verifying a Successful Installation


There are two simple ways of verifying that the installation of the server bridge was successful. First, after the
system has rebooted a new process should be listed in the task manager: HPTTsrvbrg.exe as shown below.
