Installing HYPERSIM Using the Target Manager

If a previous, compatible version is already installed on the target, HYPERSIM can be installed directly from its Windows interface.

Adding a Target

• Under the HYPERSIM tab in the Tools section, click Target Manager.

• Click + (Add Target).

• Enter the IP address of your target. Add an intuitive description so that you may easily recognize your target.

When done, click Ok.

• The user and password are required for the first installation, see below for the details.

• The target is now displayed in the Targets panel along with identifying information.

The green mark indicates the target is reachable on the network (or was the last time the status was refreshed). You can update the information by clicking the Refresh all targets button.

Installing HYPERSIM

• Click the Targets tree node, then the tree node associated to the target, then Versions.

• You can click refresh to get information about the versions:
  • The version that runs locally
  • The version that currently runs on the target (highlighted in blue)
  • Installed versions on the target
  • The date of the last information refresh

• Click the Install Version button to install the version on the target.

After the installation is completed, the Local running version and Target running version should match.

Installing HYPERSIM Manually Using Remote Access

Installing MobaXterm Client

1. In the Windows Explorer address bar, type: \\TargetHostName\hyppub ...
   ...Where TargetHostName is the hostname/IP of the target.

• In another Windows Explorer navigate to the right linux folder for the rpm: C:\OPAL-RT\HYPERSIM\hypersim_YYYY.Q.P.oXXX\linux-<OS_VERSION>
• Then copy the HYPERSIM® installer and the HYPERSIM® add-ons (v2) to this location. This information appears in the system integration document provided with the simulator, on the CD.
• Download MobaXterm Home Edition from: http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download.html
  • This program is used to communicate and to exchange files between the host computer and the simulator.
  • The downloaded file is called MobaXterm_Setup_x.x.msi.
• Start the installation from the MobaXterm_Setup_x.x.msi file.
• Click Next on the Welcome page.

• Check the box to accept the terms of the license agreement, and click Next.

• Choose where you want to install MobaXterm on your Windows PC, then click Next.

• Click Install.

Installing HYPERSIM

For RedHat or CentOS Target

• Enter the following commands:

rpm -ivh /mnt/hyppub/rpm/opal-hypersim_addons-sa-2-version.rpm
rpm -ivh /mnt/hyppub/rpm/opal-hypersim-target.rpm

Where opal-hypersim_addons-sa-2-version.rpm and opal-hypersim-target.rpm are the names of the add-ons and installer previously copied in \\TargetHostName\hyppub

rpm -ivh --force /mnt/hyppub/rpm/opal-hypersim-target.rpm

• Wait for the installation to finish.

• Enter the following command:

service hy.core restart
service hy.core status

For OPAL-RTLinux Target

• Enter the following commands:

rpm -ivh /mnt/hyppub/rpm/opal-hypersim-target.rpm

opal-hypersim-target.rpm is the name of the installer previously copied in  \\TargetHostName\hyppub

rpm -ivh --force /mnt/hyppub/rpm/opal-hypersim-target.rpm

• Wait for the installation to finish.

• Enter the following command:

systemctl restart hycore
systemctl status hycore

• Disconnect from the target by entering “exit” and close MobaXterm.

• Return to the HYPERSIM Target Manager window to validate that the installation was correctly processed.

Installing Licenses on a Target

Once the target's HYPERSIM version matches the host's HYPERSIM version, update your licenses via the Target Manager.

• Click the target's License tree item in the left navigation bar.
• All license information is available in the first tab, and communications with the target are logged in the Log tab.

1. First, the target's license information needs to be requested. Click the  Information button: Get target information and license file.
   1. Machine information is displayed in the first text area. This information is mandatory whenever a target license request is sent via https://www.opal-rt.com/contact-technical-support/
   2. If a license is already installed, its information populates the table.
2. Once a license file is received from the support team (either in *.zip or *.bin format), simply load it and install it using the button below.
   
   
   
   1. Browse for your license file, or type its path in the text field highlighted above.
      
      The file should contain:
      1. A zip file containing an osbin file and/or a bin file
      2. An osbin file, which is the Operating System License
      3. A bin file, which is the HYPERSIM license.
         
         
   2. Once the file is selected, click the arrow to request the installation.
      
      First, the osbin file is installed. Then, a license comparison tool appears. It compares the currently used license to the one you intend to install.
      
      Click Install to perform the installation.

1. 1. Once installation is finished, the target should be ready to perform simulation.
      If the license is incompatible with the target, an error message will appear.
