HP Insight Dynamics 6.2 Integrity CMS Installation and Configuration Guide

2 System requirements
The following sections provide a summary of the hardware and software requirements of ID-VSE
for Integrity version 6.2 installed on a CMS running HP-UX.
For detailed information about supported hardware and software, including requirements for
a CMS running HP-UX or Microsoft Windows, see the HP Insight Software 6.2 Support Matrix.
HP Systems Insight Manager
ID-VSE for Integrity version 6.2 runs under HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) Version 6.0
or later. If you are currently using an earlier version of HP SIM, see “Before upgrading from a
previous version” (page 15) for the recommended upgrade procedure.
NOTE: When updating to HP SIM 6.0 or later, you must also update to ID-VSE for Integrity
version 6.0 or later. ID-VSE for Integrity version 4.x is not compatible with HP SIM 6.0.
System requirements for HP SIM are defined in the HP Systems Insight Manager 6.0 Installation
and Configuration Guide for HP-UX (available at http://www.hp.com/go/hpsim). Refer to that
document for information about HP SIM requirements and dependencies. In particular, note
that you might need to install HP-UX patches before you install HP SIM.
In addition to the requirements imposed by HP SIM, the requirements for this release of ID-VSE
for Integrity are described in the HP Insight Software 6.2 Support Matrix.
Compatibility with HP-UX Bastille and other network firewalls
Network firewall software such as HP-UX Bastille might block the communication protocols
used by ID-VSE for Integrity. If your CMS or Insight Dynamics managed systems use firewall
software, follow the port configuration guidelines in the HP Insight Software 6.2 Support Matrix.
