HP Insight Management 7.1 Update 1 Support Matrix - 60 day

1
A warning message displays if the amount of memory is below this value, but the installation or upgrade will continue.
However, the physical memory (RAM) on a CMS must equal at least 4 GB on an x86 system or at least 6 GB on an x64
system, otherwise the HP 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.
NOTE: HP Insight Remote Support requires a minimum of 5 GB RAM (6 GB is recommended) to
manage up to 100 devices. It requires 8 GB RAM to manage up to 500 devices.
Disk space requirements
Table 5 (page 8) 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 reuse of the same version of an
existing installed product).
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 an additional 8 GB of temp space.
The Insight Management Installer looks in the User temp location, so if an additional 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. Be sure to check requirements before you begin an upgrade, because you might need to
expand the available space.

disk spaceInstallation scenario
10 GBUpgrade or reuse of all currently installed instances of Insight Management
15 GB
Upgrade or reuse of Systems Insight Manager and Insight Control server deployment in combination
with new installations or upgrades of other products. The Insight Management Installer dynamically
calculates the disk space requirements based on the component selections.
18 GB
New installation of Systems Insight Manager or new installation of Insight Control server deployment
(but not simultaneously) in combination with new installations or upgrades of other products.
20 GBNew installation from Insight Management DVD.
Table 6 (page 8) lists additional disk space considerations.
Table 6 CMS disk space considerations
Disk space requirementSoftware component
Disk space is consumed by the storage of power history data for each supported
system. HP recommends allocating 12 MB per system per year of history.
Insight Control power management
For example, a total of 2000 power managed systems, monitored PDUs/PDRs,
and associated racks and data centers consume approximately 24 GB of disk
space for one year of power history data.
This disk space is consumed on the Microsoft SQL Server database server.
The recommended disk space listed in Table 5 (page 8) accounts for three
operating systems to copy. If you want to copy more than three operating systems,
each additional OS needs approximately 4 GB of disk space.
Insight Control server deployment
Additional disk space is required for each workload to collect and preserve data
for use by HP Capacity Advisor.
