Add node to node group after upgrading from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003


After you upgrade a node from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003, the node does not automatically move to the Windows 2003 node group and the managed node does not appear in the service map. Follow the steps below to have the managed node appear in the service map after a platform upgrade.

To display a node in the service map after a platform upgrade:

  1. Manage (Add) a Windows 2000 server node from the HPOM server console. After the node is added, it appears in the service map under "Windows 2000."
  2. Upgrade the managed "Windows 2000 server" node to "Windows server 2003."
  3. From the HPOM server console, launch the Node Configuration Editor.
  4. Navigate to HP Defined Group Windows Windows 2000 <Managed Node>
  5. Select the managed node; right-click to open the context menu.
  6. Select Properties to open the Node Properties dialog box.
  7. Click the System tab.
  8. From the Operating System list, select Windows Server 2003.
  9. From the Version list, select 5.2.
  10. Click OK to add the managed node to the Windows Server 2003 node group.
  11. Remove the two discovery policies WINOSSPI-MSWINSys_AutoDiscovery and WINOSSPI-MSWINApp_AutoDiscovery from the managed node.
  12. Go to the Configure Services dialog box and delete the old services for the node.
  13. Deploy the two discovery policies WINOSSPI-MSWINSys_AutoDiscovery and WINOSSPI-MSWINApp_AutoDiscovery to the managed node.
