HP Insight Management 7.1 Update 1 Support Matrix - 60 day

Windows domain account credentials for both the Systems Insight Manager installation, the
Matrix OE installation, and the database access.
A CMS configuration can contain two separate databases, which can be local or remote:
• A CMS database for the CMS to store information about all managed devices
• A deployment server database that stores the inventory and state information about managed
systems (if you install the Insight Control server deployment software)
The databases can be local to the CMS or can be located on a remote system. The CMS and the
SQL Server database servers do not need to be in the same domain and do not need to be in a
trusted domain.
If you install Insight Control server deployment software, a CMS configuration contains a deployment
server that stores copies of OS images to deploy to managed systems. The managed systems
connect and communicate with the deployment server to register inventory and configuration
information and to run deployment and management tasks. The deployment server can be local
to the CMS or can be located on a remote server.
NOTE: This release of Insight Management also supports the configuration of the CMS as a
two-node failover cluster. For more information about a CMS configuration in a high-availability
environment, see “Central Management Server requirements in a high-availability environment”
(page 19).
Figure 1 (page 18) illustrates the supported combinations of the CMS, the local and remote database
servers, and the local or remote deployment server.
