■

“Install and Validate the HP SAM Client Software” on page 2-6

2.1

Install the HP SAM Web Server and SQL Software

The installation package (

HPSAM-

xx

.MSI

where

xx

is the language code;

EN

for English and

JP

for Japanese) installs the HP SAM server application and/or HP SAM database. You may

install either one or both Web and SQL databases. The language chosen is meant for the

installation wizard only. Once the application is installed, the Web application detects the

browser language, and the user interface is shown in that same language, if application supports

that language. If it does not, the user interface is in English.

✎

HP SAM can have one or more HP SAM Web servers. Each HP SAM Web server is equivalent to

each other in feature set. You can set it up such that they load balance each other and act as

failover servers. Additionally, each server has the capability to run an automated task

independently, such as synchronizing the computing resources or deleting HP SAM system log

data from the HP SAM database. See

Chapter 3, “Administration,”

for more details on these

scheduled events.

Steps:

1. Log in to the server under an account with administrative rights.

2. Run the

HPSAM-

xx

.MSI

install file (replace

xx

with

EN

for English or

JP

for Japanese).

3. Click

Next

on the welcome screen.

4. For HP SAM Web server installation, the installer asks for a user account. The user account

is the owner of the HP SAM Web site and the HP SAM server service.

✎

It is highly recommended that the account be a service account and not a personal account. This

account name and password should be changed as infrequently as possible to minimize

interruptions to HP SAM.

5. On this screen, you have the choice to install the HP SAM Web application only, the

HP SAM SQL database only, or both. The default is both. Click on the pull-down arrow next

to

SAM Web Site

or

SAM Database

to see the list of options. Click

Next

to continue.
