D.1.2 Prerequisites for HP SIM Provisioning
Support of OpenVMS Provisioning using HP SIM Version 4.0 requires the following:
•
HP SIM Version 6.0, running on a Microsoft Windows ProLiant server (32-bit), designated
as the management workstation.
The ProLiant server must be on the same LAN as any Integrity servers that you plan to
provision. To provision OpenVMS, HP SIM requires that the OpenVMS Provisioning Plug-in
for HP SIM be installed. This plug-in enables HP SIM to manage and provision OpenVMS.
For information on acquiring and installing the plug-in, see

configuring, and using HP SIM, see the documentation located at the following website:
NOTE:

for OpenVMS, and WBEM Providers for OpenVMS are installed automatically. These
products along with TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS are required for HP SIM management
support.
