IMPORTANT: Microsoft Windows Storage Server 2008 is licensed and supported as a general
operating system for the Central Management Server, to monitor any device in the customer’s
environment, including those not attached to the Storage Server. This is a change to the previous
restriction in regards to the Microsoft’s operating system license, when purchased as part of an
HP StorageWorks X1800 or X3800 Network Storage Server.
IMPORTANT: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista operating systems are not
supported as a Central Management Server operating system as they do not offer a diagnostic
monitor on a Windows ProLiant server that would allow the Central Management Server to
monitor itself.
IMPORTANT: Support for Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2 is limited to the full server
version only and is not available for the core version as much of the required software is
unavailable for this version.
NOTE: HP recommends installing and enabling HP Insight Management WBEM Providers on the
CMS in preference to SNMP.

When running the Central Management Server in a virtual environment, it is also recommended that for
Insight Remote Support Advanced the CPU and memory allocated, when the Virtual Machine (VM) is
created, is 10% higher than the recommendations in this chapter. Note, this applies to the resources
dedicated to that Virtual Machine (VM) and it is possible to run multiple Insight Remote Support Advanced
VMs on one physical server if enough resources are available.
