You cannot apply an Insight Control license to a third-party server. On third-party servers, Insight Control virtual machine
management is licensed through a separate Matrix OE license.

Matrix recovery management does not support third-party servers.
Furthermore, Matrix OE requires a separate license on third-party servers. Provisioning of physical servers and automated
power control is not supported for these servers; logical servers on non-HP hardware is limited to virtual machines.
Other supported hardware
As a general rule, Insight Management supports all external Ethernet switches, embedded network
interface cards (NICs), Smart Array controllers, host bus adapters (HBAs), BladeSystem mezzanine
cards, and their plug-in equivalents, assuming that they are installed with the latest firmware and
drivers.
Hardware supported by Insight Control server migration
For information on the storage controllers, converged network adapters (CNAs), and network
interface cards (NICs) supported by Insight Control server migration, see Appendix B.
Virtual machine guest storage options
VMware and Microsoft independently certify third-party devices with their respective operating
systems, hypervisors, and iSCSI initiators. Confirmation of device support by the hypervisor vendor
is a prerequisite to support in Insight Management.
