HP Insight Management 7.3 Support Matrix

Table 6 CMS disk space considerations
Disk space requirementSoftware component
Disk space is consumed by the storage of power history data for each supported
system. HP recommends allocating 12 MB per system per year of history.
Insight Control power management
For example, a total of 2000 power managed systems, monitored PDUs/PDRs,
and associated racks and data centers consume approximately 24 GB of disk
space for one year of power history data.
This disk space is consumed on the Microsoft SQL Server database server.
Additional disk space is required for each workload to collect and preserve data
for use by HP Capacity Advisor.
HP Capacity Advisor
For the default retention period of four years:
• Allocate 64.5 MB for each workload on each Windows or Linux managed
system to support agentless data collection.
• Allot 34.7 MB for each workload on each HP-UX managed system.
Requires at least 1 GB of disk space.HP Global Workload Manager
(gWLM)
If you intend to keep historical data, HP recommends allowing 4 GB for every
100 workloads managed by the Global Workload Manager.
If you are not interested in historical data, use the gWLM history --truncate
command to trim the historical database.
This space will be allocated on the Microsoft SQL Server database server.
Management capabilities of a CMS with a maximum tested configuration
Table 7 (page 10) lists the management capabilities supported by the recommended x64 CMS
configuration that is running eight processing cores at 2.4 GHz with 24 GB RAM and 50 GB disk
space and a separate remote database server that is running with eight processing cores at 2.4
GHz with 16 GB RAM and 50 GB of disk space.

Virtual Machine host counts can vary greatly because of the load factors of VMs
on hosts. The virtual machine guest/host count is limited only by the overall
supported limits of managed systems for HP SIM, Insight Control, and Matrix OE.
Virtual machine hosts
HP has qualified 70 virtual machine hosts through one CMS with Insight Control
and Matrix OE functionality.
