HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.3 Update 1 Release Notes

Managing Microsoft Windows servers without OpenSSH installed

Even though the product documentation states OpenSSH is required, Matrix OE supports

Microsoft Windows environments not running OpenSSH. However, for Microsoft

Windows systems without OpenSSH, there are several limitations with agent installation

and troubleshooting.

For details on using Matrix OE with Microsoft Windows systems not running OpenSSH,

see the HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.0 software without OpenSSH on HP ProLiant

and Integrity Servers Running Microsoft Windows white paper, available at the following

Patch required for proper management of Microsoft Windows Server 2008

with Hyper-V systems

A patch from Microsoft is required for managing Microsoft Windows Server 2008 with

Hyper-V systems. Patches are installed on the Hyper-V hosts, and after you do so, you

must install or update Hyper-V Integration Services from the updated host to each VM

guest. Do this as a precaution because not all patches affect Integration Services on

the guests.

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 SP2 with Hyper-V requires you to install the following

patch that fixes the hang in host servers with many simultaneous virtual machine

operations. The patch is located at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980081.

See the Managing Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V with HP Insight Software

technology brief for more information about other patches that might be required for

later editions of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (R2):
