HPjmeter 4.2 User's Guide

2 Completing Installation of HPjmeter
NOTE: This chapter assumes that you have installed the HPjmeter components on the
appropriate server(s) and are ready to configure the agents. For information on initial installation,
see HPjmeter Release Notes and Installation Guide.
Platform Support and System Requirements
Although the agents and console can execute on the same system, this document assumes they
are installed on separate systems—the recommended configuration.
Agent Requirements
These are the requirements for systems running JVM agents and node agents.
Table 2-1 Agent Requirements
HP-UX on HP 9000 PA-RISC serversOperating system and
architecture
11.11 (11i v1),
11.23 (11i v2),
11.31 (11i v3)
HP-UX on Itanium®-based HP Integrity servers
11.23 (11i v2),
11.31 (11i v3)
Java • HP 1.4.2.02 or later 1.4.x, 5.x and 6.x versions on PA 2.0 for HP-UX (HP 9000
PA-RISC) 11.11 (11i v1) and 11.23 (11i v2), 11.31 (11i v3)
• HP 1.4.2.02 or later 1.4.x , 5.x , 6.x, and 7.x versions on HP-UX (HP Integrity)
11.23 (11i v2), 11.31 (11i v3)
HPjconfig can help you determine which Java patches are recommended or required
for best operation of the HPjmeter agent on HP-UX.
Patches and updates
The agent is designed to be lightweight and low overhead, and does not require
any additional processing power or memory beyond that required by the application
being monitored.
Processor and memory
10 MBDisk space
Zero Preparation Data Collection:
If you are running the HP JDK/JRE 5.0.04 or later, you can send a signal to the running JVM to
start and stop an eprof profiling data collection period with zero preparation and no interruption
of your application. See Profiling with Zero Preparation (page 62).
If you are running the HP JDK/JRE 5.0.14 (or later) or the 6.0.02 version (or later), you can send
a signal to the running JVM to start and stop a verbose GC data collection period with zero
preparation and no interruption of your application. See Collecting GC Data with Zero Preparation
(page 83).
Console Requirements
These are the requirements for systems running the console.
Table 2-2 Console Requirements
The console is a pure Java application, so it should execute on any platform that
supports Java.
Operating system and
architecture
Java 5.x, Java 6.x, and 7.x versions.Java
