Installing this operating system on any Gen8 server or on any G7 (AMD Opteron 6200) server requires a driver kit ISO
image (KISO) provided by SUSE. For information on obtaining the KISO, see the section titled “Copying SLES 10 SP4
or SLES 11 SP1 (KISO) into the repository” in the HP Insight Control for Linux User Guide.
2.2 Upgrade path to this release
The CMS must run Insight Control for Linux version 7.1 or to upgrade to Insight Control for Linux
Version 7.1 Update 1.
NOTES:
In general, it is a good practice to upgrade HP SIM and Insight Control for Linux together, and HP
recommends doing so. It is possible that backward compatibility issues might occur if you upgrade
HP SIM without upgrading Insight Control for Linux as well.
Before upgrading, ensure that the CMS is running a supported operating system version.
