HP System Management Homepage Installation Guide, June 2006

Verifying system requirements
Before installation begins, the installation utility verifies whether:
• For HP-UX, Linux, and Windows, the operating system meets the minimum requirements. If HP SMH
does not support the operating system on a system, an error message appears, indicating that an invalid
operating system is found.
• For HP-UX, Linux, and Windows, the user is logged in with administrator/root rights. If the user is not
logged in with these rights, an error message appears, indicating that administrator/root rights were
not detected.
• For Linux, during a Linux installation on an x86 platform, if the Linux dependencies are not met, the
missing dependencies are displayed.
• For Linux, if a dependency is not met on an Itanium platform, the installation will not complete.
