Server and client operating system requirementsTable 4 summarizes the required operating system (OS) for servers and the packages supported by
each OS version.
NOTE
It is recommended that you run Network Advisor on a dedicated machine to avoid conflicts with other
applications that use the same resources and ports (such as SNMP, web server, and so on).
NOTE
Enterprise edition (SAN or IP) and Professional Plus edition (SAN or IP) are not supported on 32-bit
operating systems. You must migrate to a 64-bit operating system.
NOTE
SAN with SMI Agent + IP edition is not supported on 32-bit operating systems.
NOTE
If the required operating system is not available, a warning message displays during installation.
