Overview of the Verify System Requirements Screen
The Verify System Requirements screen displays the current status for the following based on the
results of the system scan performed by the installation wizard after starting the installation or
upgrade. Requirements that must be met to proceed with the installation/upgrade and
requirements that do not stop the installation/upgrade are described here:
• Current User Account — The account you use to install/upgrade must have Windows
Administrator privileges or the installation or upgrade will stop.
• Memory — The minimum RAM requirement varies depending on your installation option:
• When HP SIM and Storage Essentials are installed on separate servers the minimum
RAM requirement for the Storage Essentials server is 4 GB with 6 GB recommended.
• When HP SIM and Storage Essentials are installed on the same server together the
minimum RAM requirement for the Storage Essentials server is 6 GB with 8 GB
recommended.
NOTE: If the minimum amount of RAM is close to the requirement, the installation wizard
continues.
• Physical Address Extension (PAE) — PAE is a Windows setting to utilize amounts of RAM
greater than 4 GB on certain versions of Windows. See your Windows documentation for more
information about PAE settings. The installation or upgrade continues regardless of PAE.
