Supported platforms

This topic lists the operating system platform versions that are supported by TrueSight Server Automation. If the UPI does not support your operating system version, you can use the individual component installers to manually install or upgrade a component.

Supported platforms for TrueSight Server Automation installers

¹ For Solaris 11, a separate script-based solution is provided. See How-to-perform-script-based-patch-analysis-for-Solaris-11.

² For HP-UX and CentOS Linux, a separate script-based solution called Vendor Patch Content (VPC) is provided. See How-to-perform-HP-UX-or-CentOS-patch-analysis-using-Vendor-Patch-Content.

³ Oracle Solaris 10 also supports 64-bit operating systems that run 32-bit binary files.

⁴ Bare metal provisioning is supported on SCCM 3.2.

⁵ Bare metal provisioning is supported on vCenter ESXi Server 6.5.

⁶ Aries emulator installation is required on all HP-UX servers with IA64 architecture.

⁷ Supports both out-of-the-box and VPC-based patching solutions.

⁸ Support for this platform is deprecated. For the complete list of deprecated platforms, see Deprecated-and-dropped-platform-support.

⁹ For OEL 6.x, only the Public repository is supported in offline mode. The Oracle Linux Unbreakable Linux Network (OL ULN) repository is not supported.

10 For OEL 7.x, the OL ULN repository is supported in both offline and online modes. The Public repository is supported only in offline mode.

¹¹ For OEL 8.x, the OL ULN repository is supported in both offline and online modes. The Public repository is not supported.

¹² Use the RSCD<TSSAversion>-RHEL8-S390x installer for the installation. If you have an existing agent bundle for zSeries, you need to create a new agent bundle for the installation. For more information about installing agents, see Installing-agents-using-the-Agent-Installer-Job.

¹³ The Hardware Information custom object is not supported on Linux with ppc64le architecture.

Virtual guest OS support

The following table lists the various guest operating systems supported by each server version:

• *Only RHEL 7.1 GEN2 template
• The deployPkg plug-in is not installed by default with open-vm tools, which may cause the guest customization to fail. For steps to install the deployPkg plug-in, see the following VMware knowledge base articles:
  
  • Deploying Linux virtual machines fails on guest customization (2094397)
  • Installing the deployPkg plug-in in a Linux virtual machine (2075048)
• ¹Support for this platform is deprecated. For the complete list of deprecated platforms, see Deprecated-and-dropped-platform-support.
