HP Systems Insight Manager 7.1 Installation and Configuration Guide for MS Windows

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 HP SIM is running on Windows Server 2003.
HP SIM 6.2 installs on SQL Express 2005 SP3 and HP SIM 7.1 installs successfully on SQL
Express 2008 R2. During an upgrade from HP SIM 6.2 to HP SIM 7.1, the installer displays
the following message: “SQL Express 2005 SP3 detected and now upgrading it to SQL Express
2008 R2”.
