Chapter 2 Completing Installation of HPjmeter

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 architectureHP-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 updatesHPjconfig 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 memoryThe 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.

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 architectureThe console is a pure Java application, so it should execute on any platform that supports Java.
JavaJava 5.x and Java 6.x
Patches and updatesHPjconfig can help you determine which Java patches are recommended or required for best operation of the HPjmeter console on HP-UX. See http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPJCONFIG .
Processor and memory
  • Minimum 500 MHz processor is recommended.

  • Minimum 256 MB memory is required.
