Software
Your management station must meet the following software requirements:
• Windows operating system compatible with P9000 Performance Advisor.
• Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 or later. If the installation wizard detects that the Microsoft .NET
Framework v2.0 or later version does not exist, it displays a message that the required version is
not available. Click OK on the message dialog box for the installation wizard to install Microsoft
.NET Framework v3.5 (recommended version) on your management station.
• The JRE version compatible with P9000 Performance Advisor.
P9000 Performance Advisor supports JRE v5.0 Update 18 (minimum) to JRE v6.0 Update 18
(maximum). HP recommends that you install JRE v6.0 Update 18 on your management station.
The recommended version is also available on P9000 Performance Advisor Installation disk 2.
IMPORTANT:
• Only 32-bit (X86) JRE version is supported on both the 32-bit (X86) and 64-bit (X64) Windows
platforms.
• The Path environment variable on your management station must also include the installed JRE
location.
To determine whether JRE v5.0 Update 18 or later is already installed on your management station,
run the following command from the command prompt:
# java -version
You can expect an output similar to the following, which is shown for JRE v5.0 Update 18:
java version "1.5.0.18"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build
1.5.0.18-_25_feb_2009_02_25)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0.14 jinteg:07.25.08-11:41 IA64,
