Hello again,
First have a Windows server installed, perhaps Windows 2012 is the best option because it's supported. I have it running on Windows 2008 R2. Depending on the number of objects you might use a VM. HP recomends a physical server above 1000 objects, so that's everything, server, ilo, switches......
You also need a SQL server, this can be a local free version that you can select at setup but performance could be slow. When installing SIM i recommend a physical server and a remote SQL due to the IO load, but it depends on the number of object you want to monitor.
When you install SIM i recommend a seperate partition, size should be around 10gb. But when you run a local SQL you can add at least 4 gb . Then at last when you install and fill the VCRM add an other 10gb depending on how many SPP's/ PSP's your will add. Also select what OSSes you intend to be monitoring. Also you either have to configure the Windows firewall with the ports mentioned in the HP documentation or disable your Windows firewall. That's your decision.
When you have this running, and i guess you have it installed already when i read your other post please reply and we will discuss the initial credentials etc...
Kind regards,
Andrew
