HP SIM environment for windows systems.

Hi forums member

I'm getting confused about SIM installation.

when i refer to the SIM user guide(HP Systems Insight Manager 7.4 User Guide), there are said 

• HP SIM must be running on a Windows CMS that is a member of a Windows domain. The

browsing system must be a member of the same domain.

• The HP SIM service account must be a domain account; local accounts can not be used.

I wonder why that SIM(CMS) must be running on domain enviroment?

currently i've ProLiant DL380 Gen9 running with windows Hyper-V(win2012 R2), and 5 virtual windows server were running on this Hyper-V. (1 DC, 4 windows server VM). and Hyper-V is not member of any domain.

here is my questions:

1) in above case, can I install SIM(CMS) on that Hyper-v OS, and manage those 5 VMs? 

2) if 1) is not possibole, then what's the best solution for above architecture?

any advise would be highly appreciated!

thank you and regards,
