IMPORTANT: The Windows server must have at least one partition formatted for the NT File System (NTFS)
on which the HP SIM 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.
HP SIM Windows Virtual Machine support
You can run HP SIM on a Windows Virtual Machine (VM) provided the following requirements are met:
• The VM must be hosted on an ESX 3.0.1 or later server
• 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).
VM general support information:
• HP Integrity VMs do not support running an application at the same level as the host.
HP Remote Support Pack, including the Remote Support Software Manager, is not supported on Virtual
Machines.
• The required Windows service packs must be installed for each of these operating systems.
• HP Remote Support Pack (RSP) is not supported on Windows XP Professional. If you install HP SIM on
Windows XP Professional, you cannot use RSP.
• Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is only supported if HP SIM is running on Windows Server 2003.
• You cannot run Internet Explorer 6.0 and Internet Explorer 7.0 simultaneously. However, if you uninstall
Internet Explorer 7.0, Internet Explorer 6.0 is restored.
