TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server system requirements

The TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server can be installed on the following operating systems:


Hardware requirements

Note

(Applicable to small and medium environments only) The installer validates the system to check if the following system requirements are met. If your target computer does not meet these requirements, you cannot proceed with the installation (or upgrade).

  • Total RAM (in MB): 32,000
  • Available RAM (in MB): 25,000
  • Total swap space / page file (in MB): 8,000
  • Available swap space / page file (in MB): 8,000

However, in a non-production environment, you can skip the system requirements validation with the -J MINIMAL=true parameter. For more information, see the installing or upgrading instructions.

Operating system requirements

Support for third-party products

To receive full support for a BMC product, you must have such product installed in a supported environment, as specified in the BMC product documentation. If a third-party vendor cancels support for one of its products (such as an operating system or subsystem), and that third-party product integrates or interacts with the BMC product you have licensed, you must upgrade to a supported version of that third-party product before BMC Customer Support can provide you with support for the affected BMC product. For further information, view BMC's product support policy. Open link

Important

  • For RHEL 8.x supported installation,  you must follow the Technical bulletin Open link .
  • For RHEL, an Operating System upgrade is not supported. For example, you cannot upgrade RHEL from version 7.x to 8.x. An Operating System upgrade is supported only for minor versions, such as from 8.1 to 8.4.


Note: (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.x) The Sendmail utility is deprecated in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0 and later. For notification policies to work with the Infrastructure Management, install the Postfix package. For more information, see the Red Hat documentation. Open link

Port availability

The following ports should be available in listen mode:
7, 80, 443, 1099, 1100, 1827, 1828, 1851, 2638, 3084, 3115, 3182, 3183, 8005, 8008, 8009, 8080, 8093, 9149, 12123, 12124, 12126, 12134, 12141, 15000, 45000
For the list of Infrastructure Management components that use these ports and changing the default port number, see Network port schematics for Infrastructure Management.

Note: Port 80 must be available for installing the Apache web server. If any other application is using the port, change the port allocation to make the port 80 available for TrueSight Infrastructure Management installation. On the system where you want to host the TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server or the Integration Service, verify the TCP control port (port 80) is available by running the following command from the command line:

netstat -a | grep "LISTENING" | grep "80"
Temporary disk space (/tmp)1 GB with read/write privileges
File descriptor

Maximum number of processes4096


Red Hat subscription 

The product requires some additional libraries to be present on the system (see list below).

The preferred method to add any missing libraries is to use the yum command to fetch the necessary library packages from the RHN (Red Hat Network) repository via the Internet. To use this method, a Red Hat subscription is needed. Register the system by clicking System >Administration > Red Hat Subscription Manager in the menu on the server itself.  After registering the system, you can use yum install to download and install the required libraries from the RHN.


X Windows requirement

If you are not installing TrueSight Infrastructure Management silently, you must install X Windows.  

On the Red Hat Enterprise Linux terminal, type yum grouplist and check that X Window System is listed.  If not, then run yum groupinstall 'X Window System' to install the necessary packages.   


Required libraries

Ensure that the following libraries are present to install TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server. To install the libraries, the following commands can be used.

Library

Command to install the library on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x

Command to install the library on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.x and 9.x

    #yum install libcrypt.so.1
    
    
  2. Check if /etc/init.d is avaialble, if not create symbolic link of /etc/init.d to /etc/rc.d/init.d

    #cd /etc
    #ln -s rc.d/init.d  init.d
  3. Run command:
    #yum install chkconfig

For Remote Cell and Integration Services, only fresh install of 11.3.06 is supported on RHEL 9.x. (Upgraded path is not supported)

N/A

Notes

  • If an error occurs while installing a 32-bit library, try rerunning the install command with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the library. For example, yum install glibc.i686 glibc.x86_64 (RHEL) or zypper glibc-32bit glibc (SUSE)
  • After installing the libraries, check that the libraries are not corrupted.
    • yum check (Red Hat Enterprise Linux)
    • zypper verify (SUSE Linux)
  • In case of error related to csh not found in pre-requisites, install the csh package.

  • BMC products are certified for use on supported operating system versions. BMC does not explicitly test for OS patches/updates that are released after a BMC product is released.
  • BMC products should work fine with minor updates to these supported operating systems. For assistance, please contact BMC Customer Support.

    Hi, A couple of days ago I did the upgrade and the TSIM installer failed in the first validations because it did not find the ED editor, it should be included as a prerequisite.
