3.1.2 Compaq Analyze System Requirements
In addition to the common WEBES prerequisites, your system must meet the following
requirements before you install the Compaq Analyze component:
• The Version 4.0E Patch Kit: (DUV40EAS0002-19990617.tar 17-JUNE-1999 65MB)
must be installed on Tru64 UNIX Version 4.0E before installing Compaq Analyze.
Without the patch kit, Compaq Analyze will not be able to read the binlog file.
• If you want Compaq Analyze to automatically analyze the system’s native error log, you
must install on a platform that supports writing error logs with the Common Event
Header (CEH) format. In other cases, Compaq Analyze will still analyze error logs that
were copied from CEH-supported platforms. CEH-supported platforms include DS10,
DS10L, DS20, DS20E, ES40, and GS80/GS160/GS320.
• The web interface requires a web browser program that supports Java 1.1 applets and
HTML frames. The minimum browser versions are Netscape version 3.0.3 and later
(version 4.5 and later recommended) and Internet Explorer version 4.0 and later.
• Minimum 32 MB of space in the file system containing the directory to which you install
WEBES (/usr/opt/compaq/svctools by default)
• Swap space—although no strict minimum is required, 256MB is recommended.
• DSNlink V2.3E is required if you want SICL notification of problem reports.
• If you want to start with a clean error log as of this installation, rename the existing error
log file to another name before installing WEBES. The default error log is typically
/var/adm/binary.errorlog.
3.1.3 CCAT System Requirements
In addition to the common WEBES prerequisites, your system must meet the following
requirements before you install the CCAT component:
• Operating system—CCAT may be installed on Tru64 UNIX version 4.0D, in addition to
the WEBES operating systems listed in Section 3.1.1.
• Minimum 3MB free disk space
3.1.4 RCM System Requirements
In addition to the common WEBES prerequisites, your system must meet the following
requirements before you install the RCM component:
• Operating system—RCM may be installed on Tru64 UNIX versions 3.2G through 4.0F,
in addition to the WEBES operating systems listed in Section 3.1.1.
• RCM reports provide more detailed hardware information for AlphaServers with FRU
Table 4.0. To receive this information, you may need to configure the SRM console
firmware on these systems to write FRU Table information to the event log at boot time.
