  • .5-GB free disk space in the temporary location.

UNIX operating environment requirements

Agents operating on UNIX operating environments require the following hardware:

• CPU:
  • Solaris operating environment: SPARC
  • Red Hat operating environment: x86 or x64
• Memory: 2-GB system RAM.
• Available disk space:
