Support for third-party products

To receive full support for a BMC product, you must have that 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.

Disk space (approximate)

If you are downloading PATROL for Sybase from the Electronic Product Download (EPD) website, the initial EPD image can require up to 13 MB of space. After it is installed and deployed, PATROL for Sybase can use up to 12 MB of space, but will most likely use less than that.

PATROL for Sybase contains separate binary files for each of the UNIX operating systems. As a results, the amount of space necessary on UNIX systems varies. The space given is the maximum amount of space required.

Ports

If you are installing an agent or console with PATROL for Sybase, you must specify the port number to connect to all the agent computers.

The default port number is 3181.

PATROL account for Windows

  • Use a dedicated user account that is created before PATROL is installed. The PATROL default account can be either a local or a domain account.
  • Stand-alone workgroup servers must use a local user account.
  • Servers that are trusted members of a domain can use either a local or domain account.
  • PATROL default accounts cannot exist as a local account and a domain account under the same name.
  • The account on a domain controller must be a member of the domain Administrators group.
  • The PATROL account must be a member of the local Administrators group of the computer where the agent will reside.

Warning: Do not use a built-in Windows domain or local Administrator account as the PATROL default account. Doing so causes files created by PATROL to be owned by the Administrator, which could result in security or file access problems.

PATROL account for UNIX

  • The account .login.profile.cshrc, and .kshrc files should not contain any customizations such as aliases, nondefault prompts, or unmask settings other than 022.
  • Do not use the root account.
  • The account must have permission to create directories and write the installation logs to the $HOME and/tmp directories on the computer where you are installing products.
  • The account must have FTP and Telnet enabled.
  • (recommended) Install PATROL on local partitions. If PATROL is installed on NFS-mounted partitions, the root account must have root access permissions on the NFS server.
