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.

You can run Systems Insight Manager on a Windows Virtual Machine (VM) provided the following
requirements are met:

• 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).
