• General:
◦ OpenSSH version 1.0 or later
◦ ProLiant Support Pack for Linux 7.00 or later
◦ (Optional) Oracle 9i release 2
◦ Oracle 10g R2 (10.2.0.3) or later
NOTE: Oracle supports up to 5,000 systems and 50,000 events.
NOTE: You must install the Oracle JDBC driver, version 10.2.0.4. You can download
this driver from the Oracle website at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/
tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html.
NOTE: The Oracle database must be created with Unicode character set of AL32UTF8
and national character set of AL16UTF16 before installing Systems Insight Manager. The
NLS Length must be set to BYTE. You must also specify the thin client .jar file location.
Systems Insight Manager requires Oracle database and Transparent Network Substrate
(TNS) listener services to be up and running when system is restarted. Oracle by itself
does not start the Oracle database and TNS listener automatically. An Oracle database
administrator (DBA) must set these services to be restarted when the server is reset. See
the Oracle documentation for details on how to auto start these services at http://
download-east.oracle.com/docs/html/A96167_01/post-inst.htm#sthref548. Access to
this link requires registration. The Oracle DBA who manages the Oracle installation must
perform this task.
