You must not install SIM on the host - SIM is not supported on the vmhost system.

Hope this helps!

host

No, not allowed!

Best is to install on a dedicated server. With SIM you can monitor and manage your whole environment.

You are correct, but SIM installed on windows has several features only available there.

Re: What is the purpose of SIM on Integrity VM

You could actually take the time to read the manuals/Releae Notes etc., as they would give loads of answers
