Platform Support and System Requirements

Although the agents and console can execute on the same system, this document assumes they are installed on separate systems—the recommended configuration.

Agent Requirements

These are the requirements for systems running JVM agents and node agents.

Table 2-1 Agent Requirements

Operating system and architecture	HP-UX (HP 9000 PA-RISC) 11.11 (11i v1), 11.23 (11i v2) HP-UX (HP Integrity) 11.22 (11i v1.6), 11.23 (11i v2)
Java	HP 1.4.2_02 or later 1.4.x versions on PA 1.1 and 2.0 for HP-UX (HP 9000 PA-RISC) 11.11 (11i v1) and 11.23 (11i v2) HP 5.x on PA 2.0 for HP-UX (HP 9000 PA-RISC) 11.11 (11i v1) and 11.23 (11i v2) HP 1.4.2_02 or later, and 5.x on HP-UX (HP Integrity) 11.22 (11i v1.6), 11.23 (11i v2)
Patches and updates	All patches recommended by HP are required. HPjconfig can help you determine which patches you need for best operation.
Processor and memory	The agent is designed to be lightweight and low overhead, and does not require any additional processing power or memory beyond that required by the application being monitored.
Disk space	10 MB




	NOTE: If you are running the HP JDK/JRE 5.0.04 or later, you can send a signal to the running JVM to start and stop a profiling data collection period with zero preparation and no interruption of your application. See Profiling with Zero Preparation .

Console Requirements

These are the requirements for systems running the console.

Table 2-2 Console Requirements

Operating system and architecture	The console is a pure Java application, so it should execute on any platform that supports Java.
Java	Java 1.4.x and 5.x
Patches and updates	Any patches recommended by HP are required. HPjconfig can help you determine which patches you need for best operation.
Processor and memory	Minimum 500 MHz processor is recommended. Minimum 256 MB memory is required.
Disk space	10 MB
