Note Only 32-bit versions of Linux are supported, but it is possible to install 64-bit Linux on a 64-bit CPU.
Cisco Service Control Collection Manager System Requirements
The Cisco Service Control Collection Manager and its database are software components that run on a server platform. They
can be installed on any of these configurations:
• Intel machine running 64-bit versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x and 6.x. (See the “Red Hat Linux Requirements”
section on page 45)
All configurations use a 32-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Note The Collection Manager must run on its own machine. You cannot run the Collection Manager on the same machine
as the Subscriber Manager and other applications.
These sections describe the Collection Manager system requirements:
• Checking a System’s Prerequisites, page 45
• Red Hat Linux Requirements, page 45
Checking a System’s Prerequisites
The CM distribution contains a script, check_prerequisites.sh, located in the install_scripts directory:
check_prerequisites.sh [--sybhome=SYBHOME] [--cmhome=CMHOME] [--datadir=DATADIR]
The script helps to determine if a system meets the requirements for installing a CM. It also checks the overall readiness of the
system for a Collection Manager. The main prerequisites that are checked are:
• CPU speed
• Amount of RAM
• OS version (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5or 6)
• Additional required and optional packages
• Python installed and executable in path
• Free space for CM
• Names for all the network interface cards (NICs)
• Locale and time zone formats
Table 11 describes the options available in the check_prerequisites.sh script.
Note The directory listed in Table 11 must be created before running the check_prerequisites.sh script.
Red Hat Linux Requirements
Collection Manager Version 5.2.x or later can be installed on any x64 running Red Hat Linux that conforms to the requirements
listed in these sections:
• Hardware, page 46
• Software and Environment, page 46
