HP Insight Management 7.3 Update 1 Support Matrix

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).
Matrix KVM Private Cloud software
HP Matrix KVM Private Cloud includes the HP Matrix KVM Admin Console, an administrative
console that runs in concert with HP Matrix Operating Environment on a pre-integrated appliance.
The appliance runs on a RHEL KVM 6.3 or RHEL KVM 6.4 hypervisor. Appliance also runs on
VMware ESXi 5.0.3 , 5.1.2 and 5.5.0 (Custom HP image).
NOTE: For ProLiant customers wanting to manage a KVM cloud, Matrix 7.3.1 can create KVM
virtual machines in a next-generation HP CloudSystem resource pool (through either HP CloudSystem
Foundation or next-generation HP CloudSystem Enterprise). Matrix 7.3.1 also supports creating
KVM virtual machines through use of HP Matrix KVM Private Cloud resource pools. Specifics of
the software required for those environments are documented separately.
• For HP CloudSystem Foundation or next-generation HP CloudSystem Enterprise, see the
documentation at http://www.hp.com/go/CloudSystem/docs
• For HP Matrix KVM Private Cloud, see the HP Insight Management 7.3 Support Matrix at

Insight Control server provisioning software
Insight Control server provisioning runs on the following hypervisors:
• VMware ESXi version 5.0, 5.0 Update 1, or 5.0 Update 2, 5.0 Update 3
• VMware vSphere (ESXi) version 5.1, 5.1 Update 1, and 5.1 Update 2
• Microsoft Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V
• Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012
NOTE: There are special considerations for using Insight Control server provisioning in a Matrix
Operating Environment which has been using Insight Control server deployment. See the Data
Migration from Insight Control server deployment to Insight Control server provisioning whitepaper
at http://www.hp.com/go/insightcontrol/docs.
NOTE: To join a server to an Active Directory domain with Matrix environments using either
Insight Control server provisioning or Server Automation deployment, it is required to use the
enhanced server customization feature rather than the default post-install customization. Joining a
domain during deployment causes the Matrix OE post-install customization step to fail with an
error stating:
Error customizing Logical Server <Logical server name> realized by
<target UUID>.
