Administrative UI Installation Requirements

Verify the Windows UI Host System Requirements

A Windows Administrative UI host system for a stand–alone installation must meet the following minimum system requirements:

• CPU—x86 or x64, 1.2 GHz or better.
• Memory—1 GB of system RAM. We recommend 2 GB.
• Available disk space—840 MB.
• Temp directory space—3 GB.
• Screen resolution—1024 x 768 or higher resolution with 256 colors or better to view the Administrative UI properly.

Use the Platform Support Matrix to verify that the operating environment and other required third-party components are supported.

Verify the UNIX UI Host System Requirements

A UNIX Administrative UI host system for the stand–alone installation must meet the following minimum system requirements::

• CPU
  • Solaris—UltraSparc, 440 MHz or better.
  • Red Hat Linux—x86 or x64, 700 MHz or better.

    Note: The Red Hat 6 operating system relies on entropy for performance. Before you install the component, increase entropy. Otherwise, the installation takes an exceedingly long time, and the Administrative UI responses slow down during runtime.

    Use the following commands:

    mv /dev/random /dev/random.org
    ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/random
    

• Memory—1 GB of system RAM. We recommend 2 GB.
• Available disk space—840 MB.
• Temp directory space—3 GB.
• Screen resolution—1024 x 768 or higher resolution with 256 colors or better to view the Administrative UI properly.

Use the Platform Support Matrix to verify that the operating environment and other required third-party components are supported.

Required Linux Libraries

Certain library files are required for components operating on Linux operating environments. Failure to install the correct libraries can cause the following error:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError 

If you are installing, configuring, or upgrading a Linux version of this component, the following packages are required on the host system:

Red Hat 5.x:

• compat–gcc-34-c++-3.4.6-patch_version.I386
• libstdc++-4.x.x-x.el5.i686.rpm
• libidn.so.11.rpm
• ncurses

Red Hat 6.x:

• libstdc++-4.x.x-x.el6.i686.rpm
• libidn-1.18-2.el6.i686
