HP jmeter Software for -UX manual Completing Installation of HPjmeter, Agent Requirements

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

Operating system and	HP-UX on HP 9000 PA-RISC servers
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)
Patches and updates	HPjconfig can help you determine which Java patches are recommended or required
	for best operation of the HPjmeter agent on HP-UX.
Processor and memory	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.
Disk space	10 MB

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

Operating system and	The console is a pure Java application, so it should execute on any platform that
architecture	supports Java.
Java	Java 5.x, Java 6.x, and 7.x versions.
