Tivoli Security Information and Event Manager

System requirements

Hardware Requirements:

The Enterprise Server, Standard Server, and Log Management Server have the following processor and RAM requirements:

Minimum Enterprise Server requirements

• Quad Core Intel Xeon 3.0 GHz processor (64-bit)
• 8 GB RAM (+ 0.5 GB for each Reporting Database)
• Temp directory: 600 MB (during installation)
• A minimum of 200 GB of free hard disk space is required. Specific requirements depend on log volumes and types of log data. For information about determining the required disk space, see Determining disk space requirements. The disks that store the log management depot and indexes must be fast (at least 10,000 RPM) and configured in a striped configuration (for example, RAID 5).

Minimum Standard Server requirements

• Duo Core Intel Xeon 3.0 GHz processor (64-bit)
• 8 GB RAM (+ 0.5 GB for Each Reporting Database)
• Temp directory: 600 MB (during installation)
• A minimum of 200 GB of free hard disk space is required. Specific requirements depend on log volumes and types of log data. For information about determining the required disk space, see Determining disk space requirements. The disks that store the log management depot and the database instances must be fast (at least 10,000 RPM) and configured in a striped configuration (for example, RAID 5).

Minimum Log Management Server requirements

• Quad Core Intel Xeon 3.0 GHz processor (64-bit)
• 8 GB RAM
• Temp directory: 600 MB (during installation)

Minimum hard disk space

• A minimum of 200 GB of free hard disk space is required. Specific requirements depend on log volumes and types of log data. For information about determining the required disk space, see Determining disk space requirements. The disks that store the log management depot and indexes must be fast (at least 10,000 RPM) and configured in a striped configuration (for example, RAID 5).

Software Requirements

The Enterprise Server, Standard Server, and Log Management Server all require the following software:

• One of the following operating systems:
     - Microsoft Windows 2003 Server SP1 (or higher) for 64-bit
     - Microsoft Windows 2008 Server for 64-bit
     - Microsoft Windows 2008 Server SP1 for 64-bit
     - Microsoft Windows 2008 Server R2 for 64-bit
     - In addition:
        - NetBIOS enabled
        - Internet Protocol network connection configured to all other systems hosting Tivoli         Security Information and Event Manager components
        - NTFS file system
• To use a screen reader during installation, a JVM (version 1.5 or higher) and the Java Access Bridge must be installed on the computer on which you are installing Tivoli Security Information and Event Manager. See Using screen readers with the Tivoli Security Information and Event Manager installation and uninstallation programs.
• For SSH collect to work, PuTTY must be installed on the Windows agent, Windows Tivoli Security Information and Event Manager Servers, and Windows Log Management Servers involved in the collect operations. If PuTTY is not installed, SSH collections from AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris systems do not work. This installation is not performed by the Tivoli Security Information and Event Manager installation program and must be performed separately. PuTTY is provided with Tivoli Security Information and Event Manager. You can find PuTTY on the IBM Tivoli Security Information and Event Manager v2.0 for Windows DVD in the \utils\putty folder. See the IBM Tivoli Security Information and Event Manager Event Source Guide for information about installing PuTTY.

Tivoli Security Information and Event Manager runs on RedHat Linux too
