NOTE: Many Linux distributions automatically install security layers such as a firewall and/or
Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) that can interfere with the operation of HP SIM. Configurations in the
support matrix are tested without these options enabled.
NOTE: HP SIM can run on a Linux Virtual Machine (VM) provided the following requirements are met. The
VM must be hosted on an ESX 3.0.1 or later server and the VM configuration must meet HP SIM hardware
requirements and the CPU and Memory resources allocated to this VM must be always available to this VM
(by reserving CPU and Memory resources).
NOTE: Installing an HP SIM CMS on Linux Itanium Processor Family (IPF) is not supported. If you see the
following error message, it is because you are attempting to manually install on an unsupported IPF system:
• error: %pre(hpsim-C.05.02.00.00-1.i386) sciptlet failed, exit status 255
• error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping hpsim-C.05.02.00.00-1
