NOTE: HP SIM can run on a Linux Virtual Machine (VM) provided the following requirements
are met. The VM must be hosted on an ESX 3.5 Update5 or later server and the VM configuration
must meet HP SIM 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).
NOTE: Installing a HP SIM on Linux Itanium Processor Family (IPF) is not supported. If you see
the following error message, it is because you are attempting to manually install on an unsupported
IPF system:
• error: %pre(hpsim-C.06.x.00.00-1.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status
255
• error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping
