2 Management servers
This chapter provides the minimum hardware and software requirements for two management
servers:
•
A required CMS
•
An optional HP Insight Control server provisioning management server. For ProLiant customers
wanting to perform multi-server operating system provisioning to bare metal ProLiant and
BladeSystem servers, Insight Control server provisioning is an optional VM appliance.
NOTE: For ProLiant customers wanting to manage a KVM cloud, Matrix 7.4 can create and
manage KVM virtual machines in HP CloudSystem 8 resource pools in the same manner as for
other external cloud providers. For more information about HP CloudSystem 8 see the documentation
at: http://www.hp.com/go/CloudSystem/docs
Hardware and firmware
CMS hardware
Table 2 (page 9) lists the hardware requirements for a single-server CMS.
For information about using HP Insight Remote Support with HP SIM, system requirements and
product support, see the Insight Remote Support documentation at http://www.hp.com/go/
insightremotesupport/docs.
Table 2 CMS hardware requirements
Hardware

Server
Requirement
Any supported HP ProLiant server that fulfills the CPU, memory, and disk space requirements specified
in this chapter.
HP Systems Insight Manager, HP Insight Control virtual machine management, and the HP Matrix
Operating Environment (Matrix OE) also support operating a CMS in a virtual machine. This
configuration requires the CMS to be running a supported operating system listed in“CMS operating
systems” (page 15) and a supported hypervisor listed in “CMS supported hypervisors” (page 18).
Processor
At least 1.6 GHz (2 GHz or faster recommended).
For Matrix OE, four or more processing cores are required with a minimum of 1.6 GHz processors.
The recommended configuration is eight processing cores at 2.4 GHz or later.
Memory
For memory requirements, see Table 3 (page 10).
Disk space
For disk space requirements, see Table 4 (page 10).
File structure
NTFS

Local or mapped DVD drive or an ISO mounting utility.
The target directory must be on a local hard disk drive.
NOTE: For the requirements for configuring the CMS as a two-node Failover Cluster, see
“Management servers in a high-availability environment” (page 24).
For the requirements for an Integrity-based CMS running an HP-UX OS, see “HP-UX CMS
requirements” (page 98).

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.
Performance will be less than optimal if the CMS does not have the recommended amount of memory.
Customers using more than 1000 networks should use at least the recommended memory amount for VCEM.
NOTE: For information about using HP Insight Remote Support with HP SIM, system requirements
and product support, see the Insight Remote Support documentation at: http://www.hp.com/go/
insightremotesupport/docs
CMS disk space
Table 4 (page 10) 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.

Table 5 (page 11) lists additional disk space considerations.
Table 5 CMS disk space considerations
Software component
Disk space requirement
Insight Control power management
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.
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.
HP Capacity Advisor
Additional disk space is required for each workload to collect and preserve data for use
by HP Capacity Advisor.
For the default retention period of four years:
• Allocate 64.5 MB for each workload on each Windows or Linux managed system to
support agentless data collection.
• Allocate 34.7 MB for each workload on each HP-UX managed system.
HP Global Workload Manager
(gWLM)
Requires at least 1 GB of disk space.
If you intend to keep historical data, HP recommends allowing 4 GB for every 100
workloads managed by the Global Workload Manager.
If you are not interested in historical data, use the gWLM history --truncate
command to trim the historical database.
This space will be allocated on the Microsoft SQL Server database server.
HP Insight Remote Support
For information about using HP Insight Remote Support with HP SIM, system requirements
and product support, see the Insight Remote Support documentation at:
http://www.hp.com/go/insightremotesupport/docs
For recommendations on increased disk space requirements depending on how many
devices you are managing, go to http://www.hp.com/go/insightremotesupport/docs.
Select your supported version and access the HP Insight Remote Support Release Notes.
Management capabilities of a CMS with a maximum tested configuration
Table 6 (page 12) lists the management capabilities supported by the recommended x64 CMS
configuration that is running eight processing cores at 2.4 GHz with 24 GB RAM and 50 GB disk
space and a separate remote database server that is running with eight processing cores at 2.4
GHz with 16 GB RAM and 50 GB of disk space.

Insight Control server provisioning
Insight Control server provisioning is a VM appliance that runs on a separate VMware vSphere
(ESXi) or Microsoft Hyper-V host. It requires two IP addresses; a management address that is used
to connect to the appliance web interface and REST API, and a deployment IP that is used for
communicating with the target servers. The appliance can be configured in either single NIC
Hardware and firmware
13
configuration where the two IPs share the same NIC, or a dual NIC configuration where each IP
is on a separate NIC.
In a single NIC configuration, both IP addresses must be in the same subnet and must have
connectivity to the target servers, the target server iLOs, and the media server. In a dual NIC
configuration, NIC1 is considered the management NIC and is used to connect to the appliance.
NIC2 is considered the deployment NIC and must have connectivity to the deployment NIC on
each target server and the media server. Connectivity to the target server iLOs can be through
either the deployment or management NIC.
Insight Control server provisioning requires a media server to store the OS distributions, Windows
captured images for image deployment, the full SPP version(s), and Intelligent Provisioning firmware.
The media server is a system separate from the Insight Control server provisioning appliance and
can be based on either Windows or Linux and be either a virtual machine or physical server, but
must be configured as described in the Insight Control server provisioning documentation found
on the HP website HP Enterprise Information Library. A special Media Server Setup Utility is provided
which will automate the configuration of a Windows system as a media server.
NOTE: Insight Control server provisioning and Insight Control server deployment cannot be active
on the same network at the same time because it makes use of PXE. It must be configured on
separate networks or only one can be actively configured for booting at a time.
Table 8 (page 14) lists the hardware requirements for Insight Control server provisioning based
on the size of the configuration (demo, small or large). At a minimum, the Insight Control server
provisioning appliance must have at least 4 CPUs, 16 GB memory, and 200 GB of disk space.

A new appliance is configured with two network interfaces but can be configured to use one or
both of them. Appliances upgraded from a previous version will have a single interface, but can
have a second one added if desired.
1
CAUTION: HP strongly recommends using thick (VMware) or fixed size (Hyper-V) disk provisioning. If you use thin provisioning
and your VM host disk runs out of space, the appliance will crash and may not recover. You will need to install a new appliance
or restore from backup.
If you will be performing any of the following functions, Insight Control server provisioning requires
that a WinPE service OS be built and then uploaded to the appliance.
Insight Control server provisioning supports uploading either WinPE 3.1 or WinPE 4.0. See the
IC server provisioning Installation Guide for details on which version of WinPE is best for your
environment.
•
PXE booting the WinPE service OS
•
Windows installations using the PXE service OS
•
Any Windows image capture or deployment operations
•
Installing Windows to UEFI capable servers in Legacy BIOS boot mode
A WinPE generation utility is provided for each version of WinPE and must be run on a configured
Windows server. If your media server is a Windows system, you can use this same server to
generate the WinPE PXE image.
14
Management servers
NOTE: An uploaded WinPE PXE image is required (regardless of server model) for all Windows
capture or deployment operations .
Insight Control server provisioning solution limits and scalability
Insight Control server provisioning can support up to 5000 servers under management.
When running a Build Plan against multiple servers, a best practice is to select no more than 1000
servers at a time.
Across all running Build Plans, only 50 servers at a time will simultaneously be active. As processing
completes on the active servers, other servers in the queue will start up such that the number of
active jobs remains at no more than 50.

2
The Insight Management DVD only includes Microsoft .NET 2.0 SP1. All other versions must be installed separately.
3
Microsoft Silverlight does not support the Firefox browser on a Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system.
CMS supported databases
Insight Management requires a supported database for the CMS. If the CMS does not currently
have a supported database installed on it or does not have access to a remote database, you must
install a database before you install Insight Management.
IMPORTANT: Insight Management requires the Microsoft SQL Server database to be configured
in non-binary collation mode. Binary collation mode is not supported.
For information on how to change the collation mode if it is set to binary mode, see the HP Insight
Management Installation and Configuration Guide at the following website:
HP Enterprise Information Library
If you must install a database, Microsoft SQL 2012 Express SP1 (32-bit) is included on HP Insight
Management 7.4 DVD # 1.
If you wish to upgrade an existing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Express installation, you may
download and install the SP2 patch located at the following website: http://www.microsoft.com/
en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30437
NOTE: Microsoft SQL Server is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Insight Management
only carries the 32-bit version of SQL 2012 Express SP1. Thus, it only installs a 32-bit SQL Server
Express version as a fresh install. You must manually upgrade all installed SQL Server editions and
versions, including 64-bit versions, to an edition and version listed in Table 18 (page 21).

A clustered CMS requires a clustered instance of SQL Server 2012 Enterprise SP1 or SQL Server 2012 Standard SP1 edition. The
instance may run in the CMS cluster or in another cluster that is a member of the same domain as the CMS cluster.
Installation using Microsoft SQL 2008 SP4 returns an unsupported database warning, which must be ignored for the installation
to complete successfully.
Only Systems Insight Manager supports this database.
Supported CMS configurations in a Microsoft Windows domain
HP recommends that you adhere to the following guidelines for your single-server CMS configuration:
•
Do not install Insight Management on domain controllers.
•
If one server is in a workgroup, make sure that each server has a local account with the same
name and password (both for services and database credentials).
•
Do not install Insight Control server deployment and the HP ProLiant Server OS Deployment
Toolkit for Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (HP OneView for Microsoft System
Center (formerly HP Insight Control for Microsoft System Center)) in the same subnet. Both of
these provide their own separate PXE boot services, and networking issues can arise if both
are installed on the same subnet at the same time.
•
Do not install Insight Control server deployment and an HP Ignite-UX server on the same subnet.
•
Matrix OE uses Microsoft Windows Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication for the Matrix OE
services/processes database connectivity. HP recommends that you use the same Microsoft
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
The databases can be local to the CMS or can be located on a remote system. The CMS and the
SQL Server database servers can either be in the same domain or in a trusted domain.
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 “Management servers in a high-availability environment” (page 24).

KVM virtual machine provisioning
For ProLiant customers wanting to manage a KVM cloud, Matrix 7.4 can create and manage KVM
virtual machines in HP CloudSystem 8 resource pools in the same manner as for other external
cloud providers. For more information about HP CloudSystem 8 see the documentation at: http://
www.hp.com/go/CloudSystem/docs
Insight Control server provisioning software
Insight Control server provisioning runs on the following hypervisors:
•
VMware ESXi version 5.0, 5.0 Update 1, 5.0 Update 2, and 5.0 Update 3
•
VMware vSphere (ESXi) version 5.1, 5.1 Update 1, 5.1 Update 2, 5.5, 5.5 Update 1, and
5.5 Update 2
•
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V
•
Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V
NOTE: There are special considerations for using Insight Control server provisioning in a Matrix
Operating Environment which has been using Insight Control server deployment. See the Data
Migration from Insight Control server deployment to Insight Control server provisioning whitepaper
at HP Enterprise Information Library.
NOTE: To join a server to an Active Directory domain with Matrix environments using either
Insight Control server provisioning or Server Automation deployment, it is required to use the
enhanced server customization feature rather than the default post-install customization. Joining a
domain during deployment causes the Matrix OE post-install customization step to fail with an
error stating:
Error customizing Logical Server <Logical server name> realized by
<target UUID>.
Additional management server requirements

3 Management servers in a high-availability environment
This chapter defines the requirements for a CMS in a high-availability environment.
CMS in a HA environment
Using failover clustering with Insight Management is a simple way to achieve redundancy,
availability, load balancing, and failover capability.
The CMS can be configured as a single-site, two-node physical server Microsoft Windows Server
2012 failover cluster to create a highly-available environment.
CMS clustering is an included feature of the Microsoft Windows Server 2012 or 2012 R2 Standard
operating systems, and cluster support is an included feature of the Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Enterprise SP1and Standard SP1. For more information, see the Features Supported by the Editions
of SQL Server 2012 at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645993.aspx#High_availability.
Installing or upgrading a CMS cluster follows a different procedure from that of a single-server
CMS installation or upgrade. For more information, see the Installing and upgrading HP Insight
Management 7.4 on Windows Server 2012 Failover Clusters white paper in the HP Enterprise
Information Library: HP Enterprise Information Library
CMS supported cluster environments
Insight Management supports the following Microsoft Windows Server platforms for CMS

CMS cluster configuration
•
Two-node clusters, consisting of two HP ProLiant servers (that is, physical servers, not virtual
machines) and attached shared storage, are supported. Each server must satisfy the hardware
and recommended requirements for Insight Management and the Microsoft Windows Server
2012 Standard, 2012 R2 Standard, or 2008 R2 Enterprise OS, including processor, memory,
networking, and disk space.
To validate servers and storage that are certified for Microsoft Windows Server 2012 or 2008
R2 SP1, see “Management servers” (page 9) and the following Microsoft website:
http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/
•
HP recommends SAN shared storage, although you can use any shared storage that Microsoft
clustering supports.
•
HP recommends SAN boot for the two cluster nodes.
•
Each server requires two dedicated network adapters, at minimum, one for a public
(client-facing) network and another for a private cluster network. Each server requires a third
dedicated adapter if you use an iSCSI SAN.
•
The SQL server must run either in the same cluster with Insight Management, or, in a remote
Windows cluster that is a member of the same Windows domain as the Insight Management
cluster.
•
An Active Directory domain infrastructure and DNS services suitable for hosting the cluster
are required, but they cannot run on either of the two cluster nodes.
•
The fully configured cluster must pass the Validate test in the Windows Failover Cluster
Manager.
CMS in a HA environment

Third-party servers
HP Matrix Operating Environment virtual logical servers are supported on third-party servers running
a supported hypervisor when an HP Matrix Operating Environment for non-HP servers license is
applied. Third-party severs are licensed for Matrix Operating Environment and Insight Control
virtual machine management through the HP Matrix Operating Environment for non-HP Servers
license. For licensing information, see quickspecs at http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/
quickspecs/13050_div/13050_div.pdf
In general, any server listed in the VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor compatibility guides
is supported as follows. However, if HP Systems Insight Manager cannot obtain the server's serial
number, HP SIM cannot support the server. Note that VM guests cannot be moved from one
third-party vendor’s server to another.
HP tested select models from the following server families. They represent a sample of the third
party servers that can be supported.
•
36
Dell PowerEdge
Managed systems hardware
•
IBM System x servers
•
Cisco UCS
For information on Microsoft Hyper-V compatibility, search for Hyper-V from the http://
www.windowsservercatalog.com website.
For information on VMware compatibility, use the search function at http://www.vmware.com/
resources/compatibility/search.php.
NOTE: HP Insight Control migration, performance, power management, and server provisioning
are not supported on these servers because you cannot apply an HP Insight Control license to a
third-party server. VMs using raw devices, Matrix recovery management, and physical server
provisioning are also not supported on third-party servers. To understand the functionality that HP
SIM supports, see the white paper titled How to manage non-HP x86 Windows servers with HP
SIM at the following website:

Fibre channel storage and switch recommendations
HP recommends the HP storage solution portfolio of products, which includes:
40
•
3PAR StoreServ
•
P6000 EVA
Managed systems hardware
•
P9000 XP
You must provide connectivity to a compatible Fibre Channel SAN array. Customer-supplied Fibre
Channel switches to an external SAN must support boot from SAN and NPIV functionality.
To obtain a list of switches and storage devices that are supported by Virtual Connect Fibre Channel:
1. Open a browser to the following website:
http://www.hp.com/storage/spock
2.
3.
If you are a new user and do not have an HP Passport account, register for an account. If you
have an account, sign in.
Navigate to Other Hardware→Virtual Connect→HP VC 8Gb 24-Port Module.
iSCSI SAN
iSCSI is supported only as a virtual backing store (not a physical server booting from iSCSI or a
virtual machine directly accessing raw iSCSI LUNs).
To use iSCSI, you must provide connectivity to a compatible iSCSI SAN. As with Fibre Channel
storage, the storage vendor generally certifies end-to-end support for an iSCSI storage device.
VMware and Microsoft independently certify third-party devices with their respective operating
systems, hypervisors, and iSCSI initiators. Confirmation of device support by the hypervisor vendor
is a prerequisite to support in Insight Management.
NOTE: For security, reliability, and performance, HP recommends separate, dedicated iSCSI
networks for iSCSI LAN traffic.
iSCSI targets as backing storage for VM guests
HP recommends the following iSCSI targets as backing storage for virtual machine guests:
Table 32 iSCSI targets as backing storage for VM guests
iSCSI targets
See
HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000, StoreServ 7000 iSCSI
www.hp.com/go/storeserv
HP StoreVirtual Storage
www.hp.com/go/storevirtual
Other iSCSI targets certified and supported by the storage vendor and Microsoft Hyper-V and
VMware ESX, see storage vendor's documentation.
iSCSI device references
For more information on support for HP iSCSI devices, see the following website:
http://www.hp.com/storage/spock
For more information on Windows and VMware support for iSCSI devices, see the following
websites:
•
Windows: http://www.windowsservercatalog.com/
•
VMware: http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php
iSCSI LAN/VLAN switches
HP recommends the following dedicated iSCSI LAN/VLANs for iSCSI implementations:
•
HP ProCurve 6600 series (models with 10 GB option)
•
HP ProCurve 8200zl series
•
HP ProCurve 5400zl series

Integrity VM1
Microsoft Hyper-V VM
Integrity VM virtual machine guests must have an HP-UX operating system type. Windows and Linux guests are not supported. For
more information about requirements and restrictions for Integrity VM hosts running on HP-UX, see Table 53 (page 61).
Integrity VM supports NPIV for the Emulex HBA and Converged Network Adapter from HPVM version B.06.30.
Not supported by Matrix OE for shared data disks. Supported for boot or private data disks, but raw LUNs (VMware RDM, Hyper-V
Disk Pass-Through, or Integrity VM SAN-based or NPIV-based disks) cannot be shared among VMs.
Matrix recovery management supports only 3PAR StoreServ iSCSI (Table 31 (page 37)) as VM backing store. For other iSCSI
storage systems that Matrix Operating Environment supports, Matrix recovery management provides a user-defined storage adapter
interface specification for integration. For more information, see HP Matrix Operating Environment Recovery Management User
Guide and also “iSCSI SAN” (page 41).
Customer must provide connectivity to a compatible iSCSI SAN. End-to-end support for iSCSI storage use by the hypervisor is
generally certified by the storage vendor.
Not supported by Matrix OE, including Matrix infrastructure orchestration and Matrix recovery management software.
Not supported by Matrix recovery management.
Matrix OE support in VMware VXLAN environments
The 7.3 release (or later) includes support for VMware VXLAN with specific prerequisites and
considerations. Correctly configured and used, Matrix OE can provision and import VMs in an
environment using VMware VXLAN. Specifically, Matrix OE is able to provision infrastructure using
virtual networks from vShield Manager, configured under dvSwitches. Customers can use
infrastructure orchestration to display networks from vCenter, configure those networks in
infrastructure orchestration, assign networks to organizations, and provision infrastructure using
service templates.
Flat SAN
Matrix Operating Environment supports the use of Flat SAN technology by several hypervisors to
direct connect from the FlexFabric module to an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System. The following
configurations for each hypervisor are supported:
42
•
VMware (standalone and clustered): VMs using file-based and/or RDM volumes from Flat
SAN connected 3PAR (hypervisor configured to use Flat SAN out-of-band to Matrix)
•
Hyper-V (standalone and clustered): VMs using file-based and/or Disk Pass-Through volumes
from Flat SAN connected 3PAR (hypervisor configured to use Flat SAN out-of-band to Matrix)
•
Integrity VMs: VMs using file-based and SAN-based LUNs through AVIO (hypervisor configured
to use Flat SAN out-of-band to Matrix, AVIO SAN-based LUNs configured out-of-band to
Managed systems hardware
Matrix, and Matrix only provisions NPIV-based LUNs); Flat SAN requires FlexFabric modules.
Integrity VM supports NPIV for the Converged Network Adapters.
HP CloudSystem Matrix does not provision volumes for physical servers from the direct connect
HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage System.
Matrix OE storage support
Matrix OE supports the use of virtual and physical logical servers. “Storage options for virtual
machine guests” (page 42) lists the virtual server storage options. Physical logical servers use
storage provisioned from the SAN for flexible movement.
HP recommends Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN) with boot-from-SAN capability (for
physical blade deployments). Matrix OE supports any Fibre Channel storage solution, which
supports the Virtual Connect environment (including the ability to present storage to an initiator
WWN which is not yet visible on the fabric), N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), and boot-from-SAN
capability. Matrix OE supports SAN-based storage for Integrity VM logical servers. For more
information, see the HP Matrix Operating Environment Logical Server Management User Guide.
To realize the benefits of Virtual Connect logical servers, including the ability to move logical
servers and to easily repurpose server blades associated with inactive logical servers, you must
remove or disable any local disks.
Matrix OE supports VMware vSphere Storage DRS automated load balancing, including use of
multiple datastores.
Storage support for Matrix OE Provisioning
The storage validation feature of Matrix OE logical server management is supported on the following
HP disk arrays:
•
•
HP P2000 G3 MSA Storage, HP MSA 2040 Fibre Channel, MSA 1040 Fibre Channel,
◦
Using explicit or default mapping
◦
MSA SMI-S provider version 1.1.2 or later
EVA 4x00/6x00/8x00 and HP P6300/P6350/P6500/P6550
NOTE: Support for a password-protected HP P6000 EVA Storage System array requires the
HP P6000 Command View Software to be configured to enable password access to the array
(with the same password as is set on the array).
Matrix OE logical server capabilities, including storage validation and integration with the HP
Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM), supports HP P6000 Command View Software versions 10.2,
10.3, 10.3.1, 10.3.2, and 10.3.3, and 10.3.4 .
HP Matrix Operating Environment supports pre-provisioned Fibre Channel storage and on-demand
provisioned storage though integration with HP Storage Provisioning Manager. SPM supports the
3PAR StoreServ, P6000/EVA, and HP P9000/XP Storage Systems. On-demand provisioning
(including automated zoning of Brocade SAN environments) is supported for 3PAR StoreServ and
EVA. For more information, see the HP Storage Provisioning Manager (SPM) User Guide, which
is available from the HP Enterprise Information Library: HP Enterprise Information Library
On-demand provisioning is also supported for the EMC Symmetrix VMAX storage arrays through
the HP SPM adapter. When HP Matrix Operating Environment 7.4 is installed on the CMS, the
SPM adapter for EMC Symmetrix VMAX will be installed on the system. By default, the HP SPM
adapter for EMC Symmetrix VMAX is disabled. For more information on enabling the HP SPM
adapter for EMC Symmetrix VMAX, see HP Insight Management Installation and Configuration
Guide, available from the Matrix Operating Environment information library: http://www.hp.com/

Supported hypervisor hosts and VM guests
Table 52 (page 58) lists hypervisor hosts and VM guests supported on managed systems. The letter
h (host) in a column means that the corresponding application manages this hypervisor running
as a VM host. Similarly, the letter g (guest) in a column means that the corresponding application
supports VM guests under this hypervisor.
For Insight Control server provisioning, the letter h (host) means that server provisioning can deploy
that hypervisor, and the letter g (guest) means that server provisioning can deploy to VM guests
on that particular hypervisor. To verify that a particular server supports a specific hypervisor, see
the following certification and support website: http:// h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/
windows/index.html. The minimum required memory for any target server is 2 GB.
Integrity VM Manager supports the Integrity VM hypervisors listed in Table 52 (page 58).
Hypervisor hosts are not supported for DR protection with Matrix recovery management, including
hosts managed via a VC-hosted logical server.

HP recommends that you review the support matrices from your third-party hypervisor vendor to
verify their current list of supported operating systems.
Table 54 (page 62) lists the supported versions of Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager
(SCVMM) and VMware vCenter Server on managed systems. SCVMM enables the migration of
Hyper-V virtual machines; VMware vCenter enables the migration of VMware virtual machines.
Insight Control virtual machine management requires ESX and Hyper-V hosts to be registered with
the vCenter server and SCVMM server respectively, in order to be fully functional for managing
that host. Likewise, Matrix OE requires hosts to be registered with Insight Control virtual machine
management (and in turn with a vCenter server or SCVMM) in order to fully manage the host and
guests and to deploy new guests. Note that, for Insight Control virtual machine management based
Hyper-V template for deployment or management, SCVMM registration is not required.

Memory/CPU Hot Plug capabilities information
Some virtualization technologies support the ability to modify memory and CPU attributes, without
rebooting the VM. For example, enabling HotAddMemory and HotPlugCPU properties on virtual
machines. When supported by the virtualization technologies, these capabilities are enabled by
default for VMs created by Matrix infrastructure orchestration or by Matrix OE visualization. The
steps required for the guest OS to recognize such changes are dependent on the operating system
used and also on the hypervisor used. The GUI, CLI, and API forms of this operation provides an
option to cancel the request, if the hypervisor requires a reboot. The GUI defaults to a selected
check box to avoid the reboot, which you can clear to allow the reboot. The API and CLI continue
to perform the reboot by default. However, as an administrator, you can specify new options to
avoid the reboot. For more information, see HP Matrix Operating Environment Infrastructure
Orchestration User Guide at http://www.hp.com/go/matrixoe/docs.
VMware vCenter limitations for Memory/CPU Hot Plug capabilities
The VMware vCenter GUI does not allow you to enable the Memory and CPU Hot Plug capabilities
for those ESXi VMs that are in a powered on state. However, Insight Control virtual machine
62
Managed systems software
management supports enabling and disabling the Memory and CPU Hot Plug capabilities, regardless
of the power state of the VM.
Table 55 (page 63) describes the limitations of the guest OS compatibility of the Memory and CPU
Hot Plug capabilities option in vCenter.

A Hardware requirements and supported capabilities for
Insight Control power management
This appendix describes the support requirements for Insight Control power management. The
minimum firmware versions listed in this appendix apply only to power management. For firmware
requirements that apply to the entire Insight Management stack, see “Managed system firmware
” (page 46).
The license redemption process for Insight Control generates separate license keys for all Insight
Control capabilities, including power management, and generates the license keys for HP iLO
Advanced and iLO Advanced for BladeSystem. To use Insight Control power management, you
must apply an iLO Advanced license key to the server.
Power management capabilities
Insight Control power management provides the following power management capabilities:
•
Power Regulator enables dynamic or static changes in CPU performance and power states.
In dynamic mode, Power Regulator automatically adjusts the processor power usage and
performance of a server to match CPU application activity. It improves server energy efficiency
by giving CPUs full power for applications when they need it and enabling power savings
without performance degradation when application activity is reduced. For more information,
see the Power Regulator website:
http://www.hp.com/servers/power-regulator
•
Dynamic Power Capping reclaims trapped power and cooling capacity by safely limiting peak
power consumption of servers.
•
Data Center Thermal Mapping aggregates the data from thermal sensors in the servers and
draws a thermal map of the room.
•
Power Metering provides real-time measurements of actual power consumption so you can
find and fix inefficiencies.
•
Calibrated Maximum Power provides calibrated maximum power to enable power planning
based on accurately measured peak potential power for each device instead of estimates.
•
Data Center Power Control protects critical loads by reducing power to noncritical servers
during cooling system failures. The features of Data Center Power Control available on the
hardware are subject to the capabilities of the operating systems that are listed in Table 52
(page 58).
•
Intelligent Power Discovery automatically detects the PDU and outlet that a server is plugged
into.
Server requirements and supported capabilities for Insight Control power
management
This section lists the servers on which power management is available as well as the power
management requirements and supported power management capabilities. Support for specific
power management capabilities varies by server model.

Data Center Power Control works only on Primary Addresses of a system and cannot detect a system with a non-primary address.
If a system has IPv4 as a primary address and IPv6 as a non-primary address, Data Center Power Control only works with the IPv4
address.
For VMhost with only an IPv6 address. Data Center Power Control cannot perform a graceful shutdown of guests. It will only
shutdown the hosts.
The Intelligent Power discovery feature is not supported when iPDU is configured with IPv6 addresses only.
For Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping, iLO 2 version 1.70 or later. Otherwise, iLO 2 version 2 1.30 or later.
For Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping, OA 2.30 or later. Otherwise, OA 1.30 or later.
When you are implementing power capping for HP BladeSystem, HP recommends that you use Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping
set through the Onboard Administrator or Insight Control power management user interface. To use Enclosure Dynamic Power
Capping, you must upgrade your iLO 2 firmware to version 1.70 or later and iLO 3 to version 1.0 or later. HP recommends that
you update your system ROM to version 10/1/2008 or later for iLO 2, and May 2010 or later for iLO 3 for G7 servers. For some
older BL460c servers, the iLO 2 firmware might not be able to automatically update the Dynamic Power Capping hardware circuit.
In these instances, the Onboard Administrator will compensate for the absence of the internal hardware circuit and continue to
guarantee circuit protection.
Temperature related information or this feature is supported with iLO4 v2.02 and later versions.
This server model does not support HP Dynamic Power Savings mode.

C Hardware requirements and caveats for Insight Control
server provisioning
Adapters, controllers, and network cards that Insight Control server
provisioning supports
The Insight Control server provisioning HP-provided Build Plan boot to Intelligent Provisioning by
default on all ProLiant Gen8 and greater servers. To change a build plan to boot to PXE, add
--method=network and --force to all Boot script steps’ parameters within the Build Plan. Some
adapters, controllers, and network cards are only supported via a PXE boot. For Matrix
environments, see the Matrix Operating Environment 7.4 Release Notes located at http://
www.hp.com/go/matrixoe/docs for information about disabling PXE-less boot using HP Intelligent
Provisioning at a global level or for specific servers (forcing PXE boot).
IMPORTANT: For information on how to deploy an operating system to target servers with SAN,
refer to the HP SAN Design Reference Guide located at http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/
support/SupportManual/c00403562/c00403562.pdf. Open zone configuration violates several
of the HP SAN Design Guide best practices rules, and these violations may be the cause of server
crashes. Please see sections on Common server, common HBAs, different HBAs and Zoning rules
in the HP SAN Design Reference Guide for guidance.
IMPORTANT: For more information regarding HP Emulex adapters, see the HP Emulex Adapters

Disk space requirements: /var/opt
Log files are stored in the directories /var/opt/amgr, /var/
opt/gwlm, and /var/opt/vse/logs. These logs are not
automatically trimmed.
Capacity Advisor requires a maximum of 4 GB for every 100
workloads to maintain 4 years of historic data. This data is stored
in the directory /var/opt/vse. You can modify the amount of
data retained in data collection by modifying the
PROFILE_RETAIN_DAYS variable. For details, see the HP
Capacity Advisor User Guide.
Disk space requirements: database storage
Global Workload Manager requires at least 1 GB. If you intend
to keep historical data, HP recommends allowing 4 GB for every
100 workloads that gWLM manages. If you are not interested in
historical data, you can trim the historical database by using the
following command:
gwlm history --truncate
If you are using the default Systems Insight Manager PostgreSQL
database, this space will be allocated in /var/opt. If you are
using Oracle, this space will be allocated on the Oracle database
server.

For details on the appropriate version(s) of gWLM, see HP Global
Workload Manager User Guide.
HP recommends that you upgrade to the latest version of the gWLM
agent. For the latest version, see Table 56 (page 65).
nPartition Provider
Install this software on HP-UX managed systems even if the system
does not use nPartitions.
• HP-UX 11i v2 on HP 9000 requires version B.23.01.07.05 or
later.
• HP-UX 11i v2 on HP Integrity requires version B.23.01.07.05 or
later.
• HP-UX 11i v3 requires version B.31.02.01 or later.
For the latest version, see Table 56 (page 65).
VM Provider
You must install VM Provider version 1.20 or later on HP Integrity
VM host systems. You can use earlier versions of the VM Provider
on individual virtual machines. Installed versions of HP Integrity
Virtual Machines, VM Provider, and VMGuestLib must be compatible.
Do not mix different versions of these components on the same
system.
For the latest version of the VM Provider, see Table 56 (page 65).
IMPORTANT: You cannot install the VM Provider on systems that
are running HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31).
vPar Provider
The vPar Provider that was included with the March 2006 release
of HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23) does not work properly. With the March
2006 version installed, Systems Insight Manager and Matrix
Operating Environment do not discover and display virtual partitions
correctly. The vPar Provider that is included with Matrix Operating
Environment fixes this problem. However, it presents the same version
number as the March 2006 version.
This problem does not occur with the HP-UX 11i v3 (B.11.31) vPar
Provider.
You can fix this problem by executing the following command on
each system where the vPar Provider has been installed:
/opt/wbem/bin/cimmof -n root/cimv2/vpar \
/opt/vparprovider/mof/HPUX_VParLocalPartition.mof
Alternatively, on systems that are running HP-UX 11i v2, you can
remove the installed version of the vPar Provider and install the
version delivered with the Matrix Operating Environment (or forcibly
reinstall the Matrix Operating Environment version).
For the latest version of the vPar Provider, see Table 56 (page 65).
Agents and providers bundled with the Matrix Operating Environment
For a list of the agents and providers that are bundled with the Matrix Operating Environment, see
