HP Insight Management 7.2 Update 2 Support Matrix

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.

A warning message displays if the amount of memory is below this value, but the installation or upgrade will continue.
However, the physical memory (RAM) on a CMS must equal at least 4 GB on an x86 system or at least 6 GB on an x64
system, otherwise the HP Insight Management installation or upgrade will not proceed.

Performance will be less than optimal if the CMS does not have the recommended amount of memory.

The only x86 OS supported by HP SIM and HP Insight Control power management is Windows 2003 R2 SP2 Standard
Edition x86.
NOTE: For HP Insight Remote Support memory requirements, go to http://www.hp.com/go/
insightremotesupport/docs. Select your supported version (5.80, 7.0.5, or 7.0.8) and access the
HP Insight Remote Support Release Notes.
CMS disk space
Table 5 (page 9) lists the amount of available disk space on the CMS that is required to install
or upgrade Insight Management. The amount of available disk space depends on the software
products you select as well as the type of installation that is being performed (that is, a new
installation of a product, an upgrade of an existing product, or reuse of the same version of an
existing installed product).
If you are installing Insight Management on an alternate drive (that is, not the system drive where
the OS is installed), the HP Insight Management Installer needs an additional 8 GB of temp space.
The Insight Management Installer looks in the User temp location, so if an additional 8 GB is not
available, change the User temp variable to point to another location that has 8 GB of available
space. However, when you are installing on an alternate drive, the system drive still needs at least
1 GB of available disk space.
IMPORTANT: For an upgrade, the required disk space must be available on the original installation
drive. Be sure to check requirements before you begin an upgrade, because you might need to
expand the available space.
