The SHR Configuration Wizard opens when you first run the Administration Console after installing SHR. This wizard takes you through a series of pages where you must configure the SHR database before you can start using SHR to collect data and generate reports.
The SHR Configuration Wizard includes the following pages:
SHR uses the Sybase IQ is a column-oriented relational database used for business intelligence and data warehousing. As a column-oriented database management system (DBMS), Sybase IQ stores data tables as sections of columns of data rather than as rows of data.Sybase IQ database engine to create the database. On the Configure Database Connection page, you must provide the details of the database server where you want to create a database for SHR.
The Configure Database Connection page includes:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Database Type |
Type of database that you want to configure for SHR. SHR only supports Sybase IQ. |
Remote Database | Select this option if you have performed a remote Sybase IQ installation. |
Host name | Name or IP address of the host where the Sybase IQ database server is running. |
Port | Port number to query the database; the default port is 21424. |
Server name |
Name of the Sybase IQ server. Important: The server name displayed in this field is only for informational purposes. You must not change the server name at any time. |
User name |
Name of the Sybase IQ database user; the user must have database administrator (DBA) privileges. |
Password | Password of the Sybase IQ database user. |
Admin Password |
Password for the SHR database administrator. The SHR Configuration Wizard uses this password to create the SHR database administrator account. |
Confirm Admin Password | Retype the same password for confirmation purposes. |
On the Create Database Schema page, you must specify the deployment size of the Sybase IQ database to plan your data collection and retention. The deployment size or data volume indicates the number of nodes from where SHR will collect data. Nodes include both directly managed nodes, such as in the case of HP Performance agent, where SHR directly collect the data from the HP Performance agent data source, and indirectly managed nodes, such as those managed by HP Business Service Management, HP OMi, and HPOM. For these nodes, SHR collects the data from the Profile database, HP OMi, and HPOM data sources. Based on your selection, SHR calculates and displays the recommended database size.
The Create Database Schema page includes:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Select Deployment Size |
The total number of managed nodes from which SHR will collect the required data:
|
IQ Main Cache(MB) | The recommended size of the main buffer cache for the Sybase IQ main store. The value displayed in this field changes based on the type of deployment size you select. |
IQ Temporary Cache(MB) | The recommended size of the temporary buffer size for the Sybase IQ temporary store. The value displayed in this field changes based on the type of deployment size you select. |
IQ DBSpace Size(MB) | The recommended size for the IQ_System_Main dbspace, which stores the main database files. You can modify this size. |
IQ Temporary DBSpace Size(MB) | The recommended size for the IQ_System_Temp dbspace, which stores the temporary database files. You can modify this size. |
Choose Database File Location | The location where the database files will be stored. |
Note: You can reconfigure the deployment size of the database later by using the Database Administration Utilities, which will override your current selection.
The SHR management database refers to the online transaction processing (OLTP) store used by SHR to store its run-time data such as job stream status, changed tables status, and node information. On the Create Management Database page, you can change the password of the administrator account for accessing the management database.
The Create Management Database page includes:

Confirm New Password | Retype the password for confirmation purpose. |
You can configure the topology source on the Configure Topology Source page.
The Configure Topology Source page includes:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Service Definition Source | Option to select RTSM or HPOM as the source of the service definition (topology) data. |
Host name | IP address or fully-qualified name (FQDN) of the service definition host system. |
Connection Status |
Status of the service definition source connection.
|
Configuration | Modify an existing service definition source connection. |
Test Connection | Test a service definition source connection. |
Create New |
Create a new service definition source connection. |
Save | Save a specific service definition source configuration attribute. |
For information on how to configure a topology source connection, see Managing the enterprise topology.
You can review the details of the database connection and the management database on the Summary page.
The Summary page includes:
Field | Description |
---|---|
Database Connection |
Details of the database connection. Details include:
