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.
