Hardware Requirements

Hardware Requirements
The hardware requirements for SystemEDGE and AIMs are as follows:
Minimum
CPU: Same as OS vendor
RAM: Same as OS vendor
Free disk space: 50 MB (Managed Node, SystemEDGE only *)
Free disk space: 250 MB (AIM Server with all CA Virtual Assurance AIMs installed)
Network Interface Controller (NIC): 100 Mbps
Recommended
CPU: Same as OS vendor
RAM: Same as OS vendor
Free disk space: 150 MB or more (Managed Node, SystemEDGE only **)
Free disk space: 500 MB (AIM Server with all CA Virtual Assurance AIMs installed)
Network Interface Controller (NIC): 100 Mbps or more

(*) The disk space requirement varies for UNIX and Windows platforms. For Windows
installations, MSI installer requires the disk space to install SystemEDGE.

(**) Disk space requirements for runtime files increase when diagnostic traces are
enabled. By default, the size of diagnostic trace is limited to 10 MB.

Software Requirements
The following software is required on specific platforms:
■ The IA-32 Execution Layer is required to install SystemEDGE on Linux IA64 systems.
For more information, see Install on Linux IA64 Systems (see page 13).
■ The edgetrapmon utility supersedes xtrapmon on Linux, UNIX and Windows and
does not require additional libraries.
Note: In this release, edgetrapmon is available in all platforms. The previously
available xtrapmon utility is no longer available.

12 Release Notes
Chapter 3: General Considerations
This section contains the following topics:
Microsoft Data Center Certification (see page 13)
Install on Linux IA64 Systems (see page 13)
Supported Upgrades (see page 14)

Microsoft Data Center Certification

SystemEDGE does not require Data Center Certification. The SystemEDGE agent does
not touch the system kernel, whether it runs on a UNIX, Linux, or Windows system.

Install on Linux IA64 Systems

The SystemEDGE installation infrastructure is available only on x86 architecture. While
installing SystemEDGE on Linux IA64 systems, ensure that IA-32 Execution Layer is
installed on Linux systems.

You can check if the layer is available using the following command:

/etc/init.d/ia32el

If the Execution Layer is not available, install the layer on Linux systems.

To install IA-32 Execution Layer

1. Install ia32el rpm.
2. Install the appropriate glibc i686 RPM for your operating system version. To check
which version to install, run the following command:
rpm-qa | grep glibc

The /emul/ia32-linux folder is created.

3. Add the legacy IA64 C++ libraries (compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.ia64.rpm).
The exact package version varies for different operating system releases.

For more information about the ia32el package, see the vendor documentation.

Chapter 3: General Considerations 13

Chapter 6: Known Issues
This chapter provides information about known issues. For known issues related to CA
Virtual Assurance integrated functionality, such as agent deployment and configuration,
see the CA Virtual Assurance Release Notes.

This section contains the following topics:

Interactive Installation of SystemEDGE on UNIX/Linux Systems (see page 35)
Interactive Installation of SystemEDGE, Advanced Encryption and Service Response
Monitoring on UNIX/Linux Systems (see page 36)
Interactive Installation of SystemEDGE, Advanced Encryption and Service Response
Monitoring on AIX Systems (see page 36)
ifSpeed Metric Limitation (see page 36)
Linux Port Binding (see page 37)

Interactive Installation of SystemEDGE on UNIX/Linux

Systems
Symptom:
When I run an interactive installation of SystemEDGE on UNIX/Linux systems, the
installation fails.

Solution:
On some UNIX/Linux systems, interactive installation of SystemEDGE can fail with an
“Abort installation” message when the locale is set to a UTF-8 based locale. The problem
has been observed on some HP-UX systems. You can work around the problem by
executing the installation in a C or other ISO8859-1-based locale. To switch the locale
from a UTF-8 based locale to a locale where the issue is avoided, run the "unset LANG"
command from a terminal. Then rerun the installation.

Chapter 6: Known Issues 35

Interactive Installation of SystemEDGE, Advanced Encryption and Service Response Monitoring on UNIX/Linux Systems

Interactive Installation of SystemEDGE, Advanced Encryption

and Service Response Monitoring on UNIX/Linux Systems
Symptom:
On UNIX/Linux, I notice that the interactive Agent Installers are not fully localized. On
non-AIX Unix/Linux platforms:
■ The installer displays “Software Management Installer” during interactive
installation.
■ Informative messages from the dependent components appear in English during
their install. This includes messages indicating components that are stopped or
started.
On AIX:
■ The installer is not localized.

Solution:
Installer displays an issue, but the components function correctly.

Interactive Installation of SystemEDGE, Advanced Encryption

and Service Response Monitoring on AIX Systems
Symptom:
On AIX Version 6.1 and above, the text-mode UI installers does not allow you to use
keyboard arrow keys to navigate UI, with TERM set to xterm.

Solution:
You can work around the problem by either setting TERM to a different value (vt100)
before you start SystemEDGE installation or by using '+' and '–' keys to navigate the UI.

ifSpeed Metric Limitation

Symptom:
The ifSpeed metric is reported as "1".

Solution:
If the ifSpeed metric cannot be gathered or is not available from the system kernel, a
pre-existing limitation in SystemEDGE causes the metric to be reported as "1".

 Linux Port Binding

Linux Port Binding

Symptom:
When I start SystemEDGE on Linux systems manually from the command line with the
same port multiple times, it binds to the same port multiple times.

Solution:

To work around this limitation, always use the Linux startup script
(CASYSEDGE/bin/sysedgectl start) to start SystemEDGE on Linux.

Chapter 7: Published Fixes 39

Chapter 8: International Support
SystemEDGE is an internationalized product. An internationalized product is an English
product that runs correctly on certified local language versions of the required operating
system and third-party products. SystemEDGE supports local language data for input
and output. Internationalized products also support the ability to specify local language
conventions for date, time, currency and number formats.

A translated product (also called localized product) is an internationalized product that

includes local language support for the user interface and documentation of the
product. A translated product also supports local language default settings for date,
time, currency, and number formats.

Support for Non-ENU (U.S. English) Language Environments

SystemEDGE 5.7.1 and CA Virtual Assurance Release 5.8 AIMs support English, French,
German, and Japanese versions of the supported operating systems. For details, see the
Internationalization (i18n) (see page 41) section in this guide and the Release Notes of
CA Virtual Assurance or CA Server Automation.

Internationalization (i18n)
CA SystemEDGE, CA Virtual Assurance AIMs, and selected command line utilities support
internationalization that is based on UTF-8 character encoding.

SystemEDGE Control Panel Applet

The SystemEDGE Control Panel Applet uses the system locale regardless of the locale
that is specified during the installation. If specific language resources for the system
locale are not available, the UI of the SystemEDGE Control Panel Applet is presented in
English.

SystemEDGE Configuration File

When you modify the sysedge.cf configuration file to add language-specific characters,
verify that the text editor you use supports UTF-8 as a storage format. If the text editor
inserts a UTF-8 Byte Order Mark while saving the file, SystemEDGE ignores the Byte
Order Mark while reading the configuration file.

Internationalization (i18n)

Regular Expressions with UTF-8 encoded characters

If you want to use UTF-8 encoded characters in regular expressions that are used for
SystemEDGE monitors, enable the PCRE regular expression library. For more
information about using PCRE, see the SystemEDGE User Guide.

SystemEDGE CLI Commands

The following commands provide localized output and console help information:
■ edgemon
■ edgewatch
■ emphistory
■ se_enc

If you use the optional –L switch, the utility detects the current locale of the console and
language catalog if available. If a language catalog is not found, the utility falls back to
English as a default language.

Customize Console Display

If you want to display console data that contains language-specific characters, verify the
following prerequisites for CLI commands:
■ Verify that the appropriate language support is available on your operating system.
■ Enable the Lucida Console font in the Windows Command Prompt for running your
commands.
■ Enable UTF-8 character encoding in the UNIX or Linux console that you want to use
to run your commands. Enter the following command in the terminal console to
display the current language setting:
echo $LANG

If UTF-8 is not enabled, enter, for example, the following command in a console
window (use the appropriate character encoding: en_US.UTF-8, ja_JP.UTF-8,
fr_BE.UTF-8, de_DE.UTF-8, and so on):
LANG=en_US.UTF-8; export LANG

Limitations

SystemEDGE supports only hostnames with the characters 'a - z', 'A - Z', '0 - 9' and '-'. A
hostname cannot start with a hyphen ('-') or cannot be all numeric. The NetBIOS name
of a Windows system must match its DNS hostname.

SystemEDGE supports only ASCII characters in:

■ All SystemEDGE parameters with the exception of policy names
■ SystemEDGE Privilege Separation User (UNIX and Linux only)
■ SNMP read, read/write, and trap community strings
■ %TEMP% environment variable
■ All SystemEDGE installation target paths

Exchange Server and Active Directory AIM

This release of the Exchange Server and Active Directory AIM does not support
internationalization.
