Supported CMS configurations in a Microsoft Windows domain
HP recommends that you adhere to the following guidelines for your single-server CMS configuration:
• Do not install Insight Management on domain controllers.
• If one server is in a workgroup, make sure that each server has a local account with the same
name and password (both for services and database credentials).
• Do not install Insight Control server deployment and the HP ProLiant Server OS Deployment
Toolkit for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (part of HP Insight Control for
Microsoft System Center) in the same subnet. Both of these provide their own separate PXE
boot services, and networking issues can arise if both are installed on the same subnet at the
same time.
• Do not install Insight Control server deployment and an HP Ignite-UX server on the same subnet.
• Matrix OE uses Microsoft Windows Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication for the Matrix OE
services/processes database connectivity. HP recommends that you use the same Microsoft
Windows domain account credentials for both the Systems Insight Manager installation, the
Matrix OE installation, and the database access.
A CMS configuration can contain two separate databases, which can be local or remote:
• A CMS database for the CMS to store information about all managed devices
• A deployment server database that stores the inventory and state information about managed
systems (if you install the Insight Control server deployment software)
The databases can be local to the CMS or can be located on a remote system. The CMS and the
SQL Server database servers can either be in the same domain or in a trusted domain.
NOTE: This release of Insight Management also supports the configuration of the CMS as a
two-node failover cluster. For more information about a CMS configuration in a high-availability
environment, see “Management servers in a high-availability environment” (page 23).
