NOTE: This chapter assumes that you have installed the HPjmeter components
on the appropriate server(s) and are ready to configure the agents.
For information on initial installation, see HPjmeter Release
Notes and Installation Guide.
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 on HP 9000 PA-RISC servers
11.11 (11i v1),
11.23 (11i v2),
11.31 (11i v3)
HP-UX on Itanium®-based HP Integrity
servers
11.23 (11i v2),
11.31 (11i v3)
Java
HP 1.4.2.02 or later 1.4.x versions on PA 2.0 for
HP-UX (HP 9000 PA-RISC) 11.11 (11i v1) and 11.23 (11i v2), 11.31 (11i
v3)
HP 5.x and 6.0 on PA 2.0 for HP-UX (HP 9000 PA-RISC)
11.11 (11i v1) and 11.23 (11i v2), 11.31 (11i v3)
HP 1.4.2.02 or later 1.4.x versions, 5.x , and 6.0
on HP-UX (HP Integrity) 11.23 (11i v2), 11.31 (11i v3)
Patches and updates
HPjconfig can help you determine which
Java patches are recommended or required for best operation of the
HPjmeter agent on HP-UX. See http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPJCONFIG
.
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
Zero Preparation Data Collection:
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 an eprof profiling data collection period with zero preparation
and no interruption of your application. See Profiling with Zero Preparation.
If you are running the HP JDK/JRE 5.0.14 (or later) or the 6.0.02
version (or later), you can send a signal to the running JVM to start
and stop a verbose GC data collection period with zero preparation
and no interruption of your application. See Collecting GC Data 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 5.x and Java 6.x
Patches and updates
HPjconfig can help you determine which
Java patches are recommended or required for best operation of the
HPjmeter console on HP-UX.
