24 Installing and Uninstalling the Dell Smart Plug-in
If you select only the Monitor Dell Windows Servers option, the upgrade
process only preserves the alerts for the Windows servers. All the nodes
grouped under Dell Managed Systems are removed and are added again
when the Dell_Autogroup_Servers policy runs as per the default schedule.
NOTE: If you have installed Dell SPI version 1.0 with a particular user account, then
you must login with the same user account to upgrade to Dell SPI version 1.1. For
example, if you have installed Dell SPI version 1.0 as User A, you must login to the
management server as User A to upgrade. If you login as User B, then the upgrade
process displays an error message and prevents you from proceeding.
To upgrade to the current version:
1
Remove all the Dell SPI policies from the HPOM management server
node on the HPOM console.
2 Close the HPOM console.
3 Run the Dell Smart Plug-In v1.1.msi from the extracted folder.
The
Welcome screen is displayed. You are also prompted with a message
that another version of Dell SPI is installed and whether you want to
upgrade to a newer version.
4 Click Yes to proceed with the installation.
5 Follow steps 6 - 11 mentioned in "Installing the Dell SPI" on page 17.
6 After the upgrade process is complete, the Auto-grouping policy runs
automatically to group the Dell systems. For more information, see "Auto-
grouping Policy" on page 29.
Uninstalling the Dell SPI
You can uninstall the Dell SPI from the Windows Control Panel or use the
Remove option in the Dell SPI installer. Before you uninstall the Dell SPI,
ensure the following:
• Dell policies are not running on the management server.
• Remove all the Dell SPI policies from the HPOM management server
node on the HPOM console.
• Users of the Dell SPI policies have logged out of the system.
