Hardware requirements

The following table lists the Insight software CMS hardware installation requirements.
Table 2-1 Hardware requirements
Component Specification
Server HP ProLiant BladeSystem c-Class or p-Class server blades, or HP ProLiant ML or DL 300, 500, and 700 G3 or higher
recommended
Memory At least 2 GB RAM (3 GB RAM recommended). If you are installing HP Insight Dynamics – VSE, 4 - 6 GB is
recommended.
Processor At least 1.6 GHz (2 GHz or faster recommended)
Disk space At least 15 GB for HP Insight software. More space is needed for storing deployment operating systems (for HP Insight
Rapid Deployment software) and patches (for Vulnerability and Patch Management Pack).
File New Technology File System (NTFS)
structure
DVD drive Local or mapped DVD drive required
1 Construction of a system meeting the minimum memory requirements for Virtual Server Environment (VSE) operation is problematic
on 32-bit versions of the Windows Server family due to the maximum addressable memory space of a 32-bit operating system of
4 GB. This memory space is also shared by some hardware elements, such as video memory, reducing the maximum available
memory below the minimum recommended by HP. To overcome this limitation, the /PAE switch can be added to the boot.ini file
to enable the Physical Address Extension feature. This allows access to memory above 4 GB on 32-bit operating system editions
running on hardware that supports PAE.
2 For HP Insight Dynamics – VSE, two or more processing cores are required.
