1
The CMS requires at least this amount of memory. If it does not, the Insight Management installation or upgrade will not
proceed.
2
Performance will be less than optimal if the CMS does not have the recommended amount of memory.
3
The only x86 OS supported by HP SIM is Windows 2003 R2 SP2 Standard Edition x86.
Disk space requirements
Table 3 lists the amount of available disk space on the CMS that is required to install or upgrade
Insight Management. The amount of available disk space depends on the software products you
select as well as the type of installation that is being performed (that is, a new installation of a
product, an upgrade of an existing product, or reusing the same version of an existing installed
product).
The recommended disk space in Table 3 accounts for copying three operating systems. If you need
to copy more than three operating systems, each OS needs an additional 4 GB of disk space.
If you are installing Insight Management on an alternate drive (that is, not the system drive where
the OS is installed), the HP Insight Management Installer needs 8 GB of temp space. The Insight
Management Installer looks in the User temp location, so if 8 GB is not available, change the User
temp variable to point to another location that has 8 GB of available space. However, when you
are installing on an alternate drive, the system drive still needs at least 1 GB of available disk
space.
IMPORTANT: For an upgrade, the required disk space must be available on the original installation
drive. Please be sure to check requirements before beginning an upgrade, because you might
need to expand the available space.
