    • libgcc-*.el6.i686.rpm (RHEL 7, RHEL 6 64-bit)

    • libXrender-0.9.5-1.el6.i686.rpm (RHEL 7, RHEL 6 64-bit)

    NOTE:If you are using PKI plug-in, you must install the following RPMs on the iManager server:

    • SLES 10 32-bit: compat (compat-2006.1.25-11.2)

    • SLES 10 64-bit: compat-32bit (compat-32-bit-2006.1.25-11.2)

    • SLES 11 32-bit: compat (compat-2009.1.19-2.1)

    • SLES 11 64-bit: compat-32bit (compat-32bit-2009.1.19-2.1)

  • Previous Versions of iManager: If you have installed iManager 2.7.x, you do not need to uninstall it. See Section 2.0, Upgrading iManager for more information.

  • Processor: Pentium III 600MHz or higher processor

  • Disk Space: 200 MB for a local installation

  • Memory: 512 MB (1024 MB recommended)

  • Port Setup: Be aware of possible port conflicts. The iManager setup program installs Tomcat, which uses ports 8080, 8443, and 9009 by default. If the setup program determines that the default ports are in use, it prompts you to specify different ports for Tomcat to use.

IMPORTANT:On Linux, iManager is supported only with the version of Tomcat that is installed with iManager.

1.2.3 Windows Prerequisites

In addition to the general prerequisites listed in General Prerequisites, the following prerequisites also apply to installing iManager on all Windows platforms:

  • Previous versions of iManager: If you have installed iManager 2.7.x, you do not need to uninstall it. See Section 2.0, Upgrading iManager for more information.

  • Web Services: iManager uses Tomcat on Windows servers. It does not provide any integration with IIS or Apache environments. However, following the iManager 2.7 installation, you can manually integrate iManager with your existing Web server infrastructure, if desired.

  • Processor: Pentium III 600 MHz or higher processor

  • Disk Space: 500 MB minimum for a local installation

  • Memory: 512 MB (1024 MB recommended)
