For the list of supported Windows, UNIX, and OpenVMS operating platforms, see the HP StorageWorks
P9000 Performance Advisor Software OS Support Matrix. This document also specifies the supported
JRE versions for the Windows and UNIX host agents, and the Windows operating systems that are
supported as guest operating platforms on the VMware ESX and Microsoft Hyper-V virtual servers.
For more details, see HP StorageWorks P9000 Performance Advisor Software OS Support Matrix.
Download this document from the HP Manuals site for P9000 Performance Advisor, following is the

If you plan to install a UNIX host agent, ensure that you install the supported JRE version on your UNIX
host before you being the host agent installation. Also, the Path environment variable on your host
must point to the installed JRE location. To set the Java PATH, enter the following command in the
command prompt window:
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/java1.6/bin
The PATH variable is set for the current session.
To determine the JRE version installed on your host, see the procedure under Software on page 25.
IMPORTANT:
• For a Windows host agent, the installation wizard automatically installs the compatible JRE version
on the host.
• Only 32-bit (X86) JRE version is supported on both the 32-bit (X86) and 64-bit (X64) host agent
platforms, except for RHEL v6.1 64–bit (X64) host agent where 64-bit (X64) JRE version is used.
• For a Linux host agent, the JRE must be installed using its .rpm package. It ensures that the JRE
gets registered with the RPM database.
Configuring settings on Windows and UNIX hosts
You must configure the following settings on your Windows and UNIX hosts prior to installing the
respective host agents:
• Getting administrator privileges on a Windows or UNIX host
• Setting up the HP-UX, Solaris, and AIX hosts
• Setting up a Linux host
• Setting up a Red Hat Enterprise Linux host
Getting administrator privileges on a Windows or UNIX host
Administrative or root privileges on hosts is required before you install the Windows or UNIX host
agent. Verify and get the required privileges for your user account before installing the Windows or
UNIX host agent.
