HP 3PAR System Reporter Installation Notes
Detailed instructions are available in Chapter 3, Installation, Configuration, Update, and Removal of
the HP 3PAR System Reporter 2.9 Software User’s Guide. The CD now includes a spreadsheet for
sizing the system that will be used to run System Reporter and the database system.
To install and use System Reporter, a license is required for each HP 3PAR Storage System that is to
be sampled by System Reporter. If you plan to use Adaptive Optimization, you must also have an
additional license to take advantage of the storage optimization capabilities offered by this optional
component. If you do not have a license for Adaptive Optimization, the monitoring and system reporting
features are still accessible but the optimization capabilities are inactivated.
Prior to the System Reporter installation, the HP 3PAR InForm CLI for Windows must be installed. Refer
to the HP 3PAR InForm OS Command Line Interface for setting up the CLI client on the host machine
for Windows platform.
If you choose to use Microsoft SQL, MySQL or Oracle instead of the default SQLite database, these
data bases must be installed and configured before installing HP 3PAR System Reporter as described
in Chapter 3, Installation, Configuration, Update, and Removal of the User’s Guide.
You must install Apache 2.0 (or later) before installing HP 3PAR System Reporter. A binary installation
package for Windows is included in the CD for your convenience. You may choose to download your
own Apache package from www.apache.org. Red Hat Linux includes packages for Apache.
