HP Insight Control for Linux 7.0 Support Matrix
Your Linux operating systems can be selected from HP-supported Red Hat (RHEL) or SuSE Linux
(SLES) distributions, or you can select community-supported distributions from the wider community.
Insight Control for Linux does not include a Linux distribution.
Insight Control for Linux runs on a Central Management Server (CMS) in the SIM environment.
From there, it can discover servers (with or without operating systems), and install operating systems
and agents on them, transforming them into managed systems; these managed systems can then
be monitored and managed with Insight Control for Linux.
Insight Control for Linux is the type of management solution that Linux administrators would design
for themselves, given the opportunity. This solution brings the full expertise of HP's management
investments from UNIX and Windows to the Linux environment, while providing flexibility and
productivity to fulfill the variety of usual management tasks.

The remaining chapters detail the specifications for the CMS, managed systems, HP ProLiant servers,
and so on.
