This section contains the minimum requirements for the Windows operating system that is used for the CMS.

Operating system Hardware Software Networking

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack 4 for x86

  • Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server with Service Pack 4 for x86

  • Microsoft Windows 2003 Server with Service Pack 1 for x86

  • Microsoft Windows 2003, Standard or Enterprise Edition, for x86 with Service Pack 1 (running on x86 or x64/AMD64 platforms)

The CMS supports Microsoft Windows 2002 and 2003 International Server - French, German, Spanish, and Japanese (latest service pack available for each language).

Any HP ProLiant x86 system with the following configuration:

  • Minimum: 1.5-GHz processor with 768 MB RAM

  • 500 MB free disk space recommended

  • Recommended: 2.4-GHz processor with 1 GB RAM

    Note: HP Netserver platforms can be used for the CMS as long as the Instant Toptools software is not installed and all other requirements are met.

MSDE 2000 with Service Pack 3a (bundled with HP Systems Insight Manager) or one of the following:

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Standard Edition with Service Pack 3 or Service Pack 4 (for Standard Server operating system)

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 3 or Service Pack 4 (for "Advanced Server" operating system)

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 running on Windows Server 2003

    Note: SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is not supported.

  • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1

  • ProLiant Support Pack for Windows 6.30 or later

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 with Service Pack 1

  • SNMP

The required Windows service packs must be installed for each of these operating systems.

Important: The Windows server must have at least one partition formatted for the NT File System (NTFS) on which the HP SIM server software is to be installed. NTFS provides the ability to restrict file access based on user accounts and groups. Without NTFS, the CMS cannot be adequately secured against unauthorized access, and potentially sensitive operations and data could be made available to unauthorized users.

Note: HP SIM on Windows XP Professional only supports a local MSDE2000 installation for the database.

Note:SQL Server 2005 is only supported if HP SIM is running on Windows Server 2003.
