the HP IR Recovery Site.
IMPORTANT: The Matrix 1.01 update introduces ID-VSE support for VMware ESX 4.0, but HP
Insight Recovery 1.0 does not support failover of VMs created on ESX 4.0 (or any other ESX host),
to an ESX 4.0 host. To avoid unsuccessful failover of HP IR Recovery Groups: 1. Do not assign
an ESX 4.0 host to an HP Insight Recovery license. 2. Do not configure a VM-based Logical Server
in an HP IR Recovery Group, if the VM was created in an ESX 4.0 environment.
Database Support
HP Insight Recovery 1.0 supports the following CMS databases:
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008
• Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2
• Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2
