2 Management servers This chapter provides the minimum hardware and software requirements for three management servers: • A required CMS • An optional HP Matrix KVM Private Cloud management server. For ProLiant customers wanting to manage a KVM cloud, HP Matrix KVM Private Cloud provides a Matrix KVM Admin Console appliance which requires its own host. • An optional HP Insight Control server provisioning management server.
CMS memory Table 4 (page 9) lists the memory requirements on the CMS, which differ for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) operating systems and differ based on whether Matrix OE is being installed.
Table 5 CMS disk space requirements (continued) Installation scenario Required disk space New installation of Systems Insight Manager or new installation of Insight Control server deployment (but not simultaneously) in combination with new installations or upgrades of other products. 18 GB New installation from Insight Management DVD. 20 GB Table 6 (page 10) lists additional disk space considerations.

Additional management server requirements This section defines other management server requirements for all management servers (CMS, Matrix KVM Private Cloud, and Insight Control server provisioning). Supported browsers Table 22: Supported browsers (page 22) lists the browser versions that are required for browsing into Insight Management on any management server. For a list of browsers supported by Insight Remote Support, go to http://www.hp.com/go/insightremotesupport/docs.
3 Management servers in a high-availability environment This chapter defines the requirements for a CMS and Matrix KVM Private Cloud in a high-availability environment. CMS in a HA environment Using failover clustering with Insight Management is a simple way to achieve redundancy, availability, load balancing, and failover capability. The CMS can be configured as a single-site, two-node physical server Microsoft Windows Server 2012 failover cluster to create a highly-available environment.
Table 23 Insight Management components that the cluster platform supports (continued) Insight Management component HP Insight Control power management Supported? ✓ HP Insight Control server deployment HP Insight Control server deployment SIM integration module HP Insight Control server deployment Quiesce SIM Plugin HP Insight Control server migration ✓ HP Insight Control virtual machine management ✓ HP Insight managed system setup wizard ✓ HP Insight mxsync utility ✓ HP Matrix Operating Environmen
Unsupported items in a CMS cluster configuration • Brocade Network Advisor, HP P6000 Command View Software, HP Operations Orchestration, VMware vCenter Server, and similar applications are not permitted in a CMS cluster • Multi-site Windows cluster: a CMS cluster is a single site cluster. Matrix KVM Private Cloud in a HA environment The Matrix KVM Admin Console appliance can be configured as a single-site, two-node physical server RHEL KVM 6.3 or RHEL KVM 6.
4 Managed systems hardware This chapter provides the hardware, firmware, and software requirements for servers that Insight Management can license and manage, as well as information on public cloud providers. Public cloud providers In addition to provisioning with on-premise resources, Matrix OE infrastructure orchestration supports provisioning virtual servers to the following public cloud providers: HP Cloud Services, Savvis, and Amazon Web Services.

To use iSCSI, you must provide connectivity to a compatible iSCSI SAN. As with Fibre Channel storage, the storage vendor generally certifies end-to-end support for an iSCSI storage device. VMware and Microsoft independently certify third-party devices with their respective operating systems, hypervisors, and iSCSI initiators. Confirmation of device support by the hypervisor vendor is a prerequisite to support in Insight Management.

• Hyper-V (standalone and clustered): VMs using file-based and/or Disk Pass-Through volumes from Flat SAN connected 3PAR (hypervisor configured to use Flat SAN out-of-band to Matrix) • Integrity VMs: VMs using file-based and SAN-based LUNs through AVIO (hypervisor configured to use Flat SAN out-of-band to Matrix, AVIO SAN-based LUNs configured out-of-band to Matrix, and Matrix only provisions NPIV-based LUNs); Flat SAN requires FlexFabric modules.
SPM adapter for EMC Symmetrix VMAX will be installed on the system. By default, the HP SPM adapter for EMC Symmetrix VMAX is disabled.

4 To support Integrity/HP-UX cross-technology logical server operations, this operating system requires the EFI and AVIO Storage and Networking patches. The EFI patch (number is PHKL_41895 or later) is available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc. The AVIO Storage and Networking software is available at http://software.hp.com (search for AVIO). 5 Capacity Advisor supports this OS on VSP 6.1 and 6.2 with limitations (see HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.2 Update 2 Release Notes.
Supported hypervisor hosts and VM guests Table 57 (page 58) lists hypervisor hosts and VM guests supported on managed systems. Insight Control virtual machine management does not support VMware ESX or ESXi download editions or VMware ESX/ESXi servers without a valid license. In Table 57 (page 58), the letter h (host) in a column means that the corresponding application manages this hypervisor running as a VM host.
