  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 x86 with Update 6, AMD64 and EM64T with Update 6

  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 for x86 with Service Pack 1, AMD64 and EM64T with Service Pack 1

  • SUSE Linux Server 9 for x86 with Service Pack 4, AMD64 and Intel EM64T with Service Pack 4

Any HP IA-32 AMD64 or EM64T system with the following configuration:

  • Minimum: 1.5-GHz processor and 1 GB RAM

  • Recommended: 2.4-GHz processor and 1.5 GB RAM

Any HP system with Oracle 9i installed minimum 4 GB RAM

free disk space

  • 2 MB for CMS (/)

  • 400 MB for the CMS and DTF agent (/opt)

  • 500 MB minimum recommended for data (/var/opt)

swap space

  • 3 GB minimum total swap space for Itanium-based systems

  • OpenSSH version 1.0 or later

  • ProLiant Support Pack for Linux 7.00 or later

  • (Optional) Oracle 9i release 2

  • Oracle 10g

    Note: Oracle supports 5,000 systems and 50,000 events.

  • Oracle 10g running on Microsoft Windows Vista

  • HP SIM private version of PostgresSQL (hpsmdb)

    Note: hpsmdb supports 500 systems and 5,000 events.

For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9:

  • MIT Kerbros krb5-1.4-16

  • Firefox 1.5.0.12

  • Firefox 2.0.0.4

  • Static or dynamic host name resolution

    Note: On Linux, look for the entry 127.0.0.1 localhost, the local system IP address, and the system name in the /etc/hosts file. If they are not present, add the entries manually.

  • SNMP

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.HP SIM 5.2 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).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
