Memory

  • 35 MB RAM for the Monitoring Agent for Windows OS

Disk space

  • The Monitoring Agent for Windows OS requires 125 MB of disk space in the file system where it is to be installed through the local install method.

Historical data space varies, depending on the tables collected. Refer to general installation guidelines for disk space requirements in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Installation and Setup Guide and "Disk capacity planning for historical dat"a in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Windows OS Agent Reference.

Other requirements

  • IBM Tivoli Monitoring OS agents require that the hub monitoring server and portal server be at the same version or at a later version relative to the OS agent version.

  • Components to be monitored must be installed and configured

  • The minimum supported level of Microsoft.NET Framework is .NET Framework 1.1 SP1. For older releases of Windows OS that do not support 1.1 .NET, the minimum level is NET Framework 1.0 SP3. .NET Framework 3.5 is supported for 64-bit agents.

  • cscript version 5.6 or higher

  • The watchdog that is part of the Windows OS Agent calls scripts that require Windows Script Host 5.6 at a minimum

If you install the agent on a 64-bit platform, the installer will default to 64-bit mode. If you are upgrading from an older version, the agent will continue to run in 32-bit mode.

You cannot install two Windows OS Agents on the same system. This restriction also precludes installing a 32-bit Windows OS Agent and a 64-bit Windows OS Agent on the same system.

For the most current information about the operating systems that are supported, see the following URL: http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/prodguid/v1r0/clarity/index.html.
