The Insight Control Data Center Edition installation process is a single procedure designed for ease of use, installing all Insight Control Data Center Edition software on a single management server. Variations to this installation can occur under one of the following scenarios:

• If HP SIM 5.0 or higher is already installed, Insight Control Data Center

Edition and all its components are installed on the HP SIM Central

Management Server (CMS). If necessary, HP SIM and all of its components are updated to the latest version.

• If the Rapid Deployment Pack—Windows Edition 3.00 is installed on your

HP SIM CMS, Insight Control Data Center Edition upgrades it to 3.10.

• If the Rapid Deployment Pack—Windows Edition 3.10 is already installed in your environment, you can provide the Insight Control Data Center Edition installer with information to incorporate your existing Rapid Deployment

Pack—Windows Edition installation. In this configuration, the Rapid

Deployment Pack—Windows Edition 3.10 can be on the same server or on a different server from the HP SIM CMS.

• If neither HP SIM nor the Rapid Deployment Pack—Windows Edition is present, both components are installed, along with the other Insight Control

Data Center Edition components, during the Insight Control Data Center Edition installation process.

IMPORTANT: Before beginning the Insight Control Data Center Edition installation process, identify the information or configure the settings as

listed in the HP BladeSystem Installation Checklist in the kit. Having this information available reduces the time required for installation.
