Installing or Upgrading the System Reporter Tools
You have several options for installing the HP 3PAR System Reporter tools, depending on whether
you choose to use the SQLite database (the default), or one of the other optional databases.
If you are using Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL or Oracle for your database, before installing the
HP 3PAR System Reporter tools you must install and configure the database as described in:
•
“Installing and Setting Up the Microsoft SQL Server Database (Optional)” (page 32)
•
“Installing and Setting Up the MySQL Database (Optional)” (page 37)
•
“Setting Up the Oracle Database (Optional)” (page 40)
NOTE: Before installing the System Reporter tools, make sure that you have installed Apache
HTTP Server as described in Optional Components. Figure 3 (page 29) provides a visual
representation of the installation process for a new installation that is described in detail in the
following sections.
There are different procedures for installing or upgrading System Reporter tools on Windows and
Linux. For Windows, see
“Installing or Upgrading System Reporter Tools on Windows” (page 42) ;
for Linux, see “Installing System Reporter Tools on Linux” (page 45) .
Installing or Upgrading System Reporter Tools on Windows
Install the HP 3PAR System Reporter tools on Windows as follows:
1.
Insert the HP 3PAR System Reporter Software CD into your CD-ROM drive and open the file.
installer.exe
The System Reporter Installer window opens.
2. If the installer detects a previous System Reporter installation, it will initialize the settings for
the installation to the existing settings instead of the default settings and include an Upgrade
button.
Click the Upgrade button to keep the existing settings and skip to step 10.
Click the Next button to step through each of the settings as described in the following steps.
NOTE: If the installer detects a previous version of System Reporter, it will pop up a window
at this point. If the compactdb process is running, the popup will advise you to wait for the
compaction to complete and perform the upgrade later. It will not provide an option to stop
the previous installation since terminating a compactdb prematurely causes problems with
the database for MySQL. If compactdb is not running, the popup window asks for permission
to stop the previous installation before proceeding with the new installation.
3. When prompted, use the Browse... button to select and enter the full path to the HP 3PAR OS
CLI executable cli.exe (if it is different from the default) then click Next.
4. When prompted, use the Browse... button to select and enter the full path to the location where
you installed Apache HTTP Server (if it is different from the default) then click Next.
5. Use the Browse... button to select and enter the installation directory for the HP 3PAR System
Reporting Tools sampler or accept the default directory (C:/Program Files/3PAR/System
Reporter
) and then click Next.
6. Make sure that the desired database is selected, then click Next.
7. This step differs based on the type of database you selected.
