NOTE: The Utilization Provider should remain or be installed on Integrity systems (except for
SUSE 11, where it is not supported).
Installing the Utilization Provider on Integrity systems

The Utilization Provider is available in the following OS distributions:
• HP-UX
• Integrity Windows
• Integrity Linux (except SUSE 11)

3. Under Step 1, select Download drivers and software (and firmware).
4. Under Step 2, enter your server model number and click Go.
5. Click the link that describes your operating system.

CD.

Managing Microsoft Windows servers without OpenSSH installed
Even though the product documentation states OpenSSH is required, HP Insight Dynamics
supports Microsoft Windows environments not running OpenSSH. However, for Microsoft
Windows systems without OpenSSH, there are several limitations with agent installation and
troubleshooting.
For details on using HP Insight Dynamics with Microsoft Windows systems not running OpenSSH,
see the HP Insight Dynamics 6.0 software without OpenSSH on HP ProLiant and Integrity Servers

Updates required for proper management of Microsoft Windows Server
2008 with Hyper-V systems
Several patches from Microsoft are required for management of Microsoft Windows Server 2008
with Hyper-V systems. These updates should be installed on the Hyper-V hosts. After installing
the updates on the host, install or update Hyper-V Integration Services from the updated host
to each VM guest (to be safe – not all patches affect Integration Services on the guests).
For more information, see the Managing Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V with HP
Insight Dynamics technology brief.
