2.2 Upgrade path to this release
The CMS must run Insight Control for Linux version 6.0 or higher to upgrade to Insight Control for
Linux Version 6.2.
NOTE: In general, it is a good practice to upgrade HP SIM and Insight Control for Linux together,
and HP recommends doing so. It is possible that backward compatibility issues might occur if you
upgrade HP SIM without upgrading Insight Control for Linux as well.

HP SIM Version 6.2 is the current supported version of HP
SIM. If HP SIM 6.2 is detected, the script prompts you to

SIM configuration or if the HP SIM installation process failed
