I don't know of any links.
There used to be an issue running HPSIM and HP CommandView on the same server, that has now been resolved with later versions of HP CommandView. That's the only documented compatibility issue I'm aware of.

The only other issue is one of loading. HPSIM is quite network intensive.
Also, you can install HPSIM on a virtual server but you will lose the RSP functionality.

Thanks Rob...
can you send me the link for the issue with command view?

You'd need to get the release notes for CommandView 8 (or 8.01) not sure when it changed.

The issue isn't documented as such, the release notes for CV 8 just state that they can now be installed on the same server.

you'll just need to google around a bit.

This thread also discussed the issue some time ago.
