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 Presentation Server 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 Presentation Server.  To install the libraries, use the following commands.

    Hi,

     

    What are different Supported platforms for High-availability cluster mode for TSPS 10.7.

    I checked whole documentation but didn't find.

     

    Regards,

    Gokul

    1. Sanjay Prahlad

      Hello Gokul,

      TSPS 10.7 supports native HA and the supported platforms are the same as standalone installs. For more info about a TSPS HA installation, see TrueSight Presentation Server high availability deployment.

      Hope this helps.
