HP Systems Insight Manager 6.3 Installation and Configuration Guide for Microsoft Windows

Browser software:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0
• Mozilla Firefox 3.6
• Mozilla Firefox 3.5 (3.5.09.00)
Networking
• Static or dynamic host name resolution

IMPORTANT: The Windows server must have at least one partition formatted for the NT File
System (NTFS) on which the Systems Insight Manager server software is to be installed. NTFS
provides the ability to restrict file access based on user accounts and groups. Without NTFS, the
CMS cannot be adequately secured against unauthorized access, and potentially sensitive
operations and data could be made available to unauthorized users.
Systems Insight Manager Windows Virtual Machine support
You can run Systems Insight Manager on a Windows Virtual Machine (VM) provided the following
requirements are met:
• The VM must be hosted on an ESX 3.0.2 or later server
• The VM configuration must meet Systems Insight Manager hardware requirements and the
CPU and Memory resources allocated to this VM must be always available to this VM (by
reserving CPU and Memory resources).
VM general support information:
• HP Integrity VMs do not support running an application at the same level as the host.
• The required Windows service packs must be installed for each of these operating systems.
• Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is only supported if Systems Insight Manager is running on
Windows Server 2003.
