ok, so if the new server has been installed, can I just re-register the existing server with old HP SIM agent in it ?

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
can someone tell me the main steps to set up SIM, I have readthe HP documentation but need an expert so that I can make sure I understaood a little bit of the process:<br />
<br />
1- Configure SNMP string on the managed servers(I don't know if which type of string I need to use).<br />
2-Install HP SIM in windows server<br />
3-Run discovery systems to populate SIM with HP servers and devices<br />
4-deploy HP Support pack to managed servers(I don't know If I need to install VCRepository on the network before I do that)<br />
<br />
Are the steps described above enough to get HP SIM working?<br />
Can you show me how to update the agent/firmware/updates regularly on the managed servers?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

HP SIM Deployment

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
