Chapter 1 Hardware requirements for IBM Director

To successfully install IBM Director, the system on which you install IBM Directorcomponents must meet certain minimum hardware requirements, depending onthe components to be installed and the type of system on which they will beinstalled

Because a system configured with the minimum requirements might performpoorly in a production environment, consider the following suggestions:

v Be sure that your system can accommodate the hardware requirements, keeping

in mind that the microprocessor speed, memory, and disk-space minimum

requirements are additional to the resources are necessary for the software

already installed on the system

v Conduct a performance analysis to ensure that the system has sufficient capacity

to handle the additional requirements of functioning as a management server or

a management console

Hardware requirements for x86-compatible systems

IBM Director components have minimum microprocessor speed, random accessmemory (RAM), and disk space requirements on x86-compatible systems,including System i platforms, IntelliStation workstations, NetVista desktopcomputers, IBM ThinkCentre desktop computers, ThinkPad mobile computers, IBMSystem Storage™Network Attached Storage (NAS) products, and IBM SurePOS™

point-of-sale systems

When reviewing the hardware requirements, consider the following information:

v The disk space listed is the minimum requirement for an installation using thedefault selections

v Requirements listed for IBM Director Server do not include the databaseprogram hardware requirements or the increased persistent storage for managedobjects

v The systems on which you install IBM Director Agent or IBM Director Servermust meet the Wired for Management (WfM), version 2.0, specifications

v System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) 2.1 or later is required for all systems in anIBM Director environment

Hardware requirements for servers running AIX

IBM Director components have minimum microprocessor speed, random accessmemory (RAM), and disk space requirements on servers running AIX®, includingSystem i and System p servers, and JS20, JS21, and JS22 blade servers

When reviewing the hardware requirements, consider the following information:

v The disk space listed is the minimum requirement for an installation using thedefault selections

v Requirements listed for IBM Director Server do not include the databaseprogram hardware requirements or the increased persistent storage for managedobjects

v On systems that do not provide display capability, such as JS20, JS21, and JS22blade servers, you must export IBM Director Console using either the xhostcommand or SSH tunneling The IBM Director Console requirements apply tothe receiving system

Hardware requirements for System i products

IBM Director components have minimum commercial processing workload (CPW),storage pool size, and disk space requirements when installed on System i

products

When reviewing the hardware requirements, consider the following information:

v The disk space listed is the minimum requirement for an installation using thedefault selections

v Requirements listed for IBM Director Server do not include the databaseprogram hardware requirements or the increased persistent storage for managedobjects As the number of managed objects in your IBM Director environmentincreases, make sure you increase disk space and storage pool size on the systemrunning IBM Director Server

v Resource Monitors, tasks, event action plans, and managed endpoints increasethe resources required by IBM Director Server

v System x servers that are attached to the System i product using the IntegratedxSeries Adapter (IXA)

v iSCSI-attached System x and BladeCenter productsUsing these System x options, you can install IBM Director Agent and IBMDirector Core Services on the supported operating systems Supported operatingsystems are those that are supported by both IBM Director and the System xoption For supported operating systems on IXS and IXA, see the System x optionproduct documentation For IBM Director supported operating systems, see

“Operating systems supported by IBM Director.”

Note: Whether these operating systems are supported in your System ienvironment depends on the following criteria:

v The Integrated xSeries Server (IXS) installed in the System i platform

v The System x server that is attached to the System i platform using theIntegrated xSeries Adapter (IXA)

v The iSCSI-attached System x or BladeCenter hardware connected to theSystem i platform
