Remedy SSO latest patches and hot fixes

  • If you have Remedy Single Sign-On installed, you must check and apply the relevant patches for a seamless integration with the TrueSight Presentation Server.
  • Before proceeding with the patch installation, if the TrueSight Presentation Server is running, stop the TrueSight Presentation Server and back up Remedy Single Sign-On.

Supported Presentation Server integrations

You can integrate Presentation Server with TrueSight Operations Management components and other BMC products. For more information, see the following topics:

  • Supported Presentation Server integrations with TrueSight Operations Management components
  • Supported Presentation Server integrations with other BMC products

Remedy Single Sign-On Server

Presentation Server

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, see BMC's product support policy.

A user with root privileges cannot install the TrueSight Presentation Server.

Note: Umask must be set to 022.

Supported versions of Linux

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x and 7.x
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.x, 12.x, and 15
  • Oracle Linux Server 6.x and 7.x

Notes

  • 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, contact BMC Customer Support.

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 

If you are installing the TrueSight Presentation Server by using the graphical user interface, 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 the TrueSight Presentation Server.  To install the libraries, use the following commands.

Capacity Agent

Operating System support for Agent-based data collection

The following table lists the Operating Systems on which you can currently install and use Agent:

Note

  • For data collection from a Solaris 11 computer configured as a zone, the Agent must be installed on the global zone. All non-global zone data is accessible from the global zone.

  • For data collection from a 7.1, or 7.2 computer configured as a WPAR, the Agent must be installed on the global WPAR. All non-global WPAR data is accessible from the global WPAR.

  • For Z series you can only install 64-bit Agent. Compatible 64-bit for libgcc_s.so.1 and libstdc++.so.5 libraries are required to be installed for Z series.

    This page was easier to find on Google than it was on your KB search engine. Shouldn't that embarrass you?
