of SSH, use the --nodeps option on rpm.

For example, rpm --nodeps -ivh followed by the rpm files.

NOTE: The initialization of the upgrade is done in the background, which takes several

minutes. To verify if the upgrade is 100% complete, view the file by executing the following

command:

cat /var/opt/mx/logs/initconfig.log

upgrade process automatically migrates the HP SIM data from PostgreSQL to hpsmdb. If

hpsmdb cannot be installed successfully, the upgraded HP SIM continues to use PostgreSQL.
