1 System Requirements
ISC consists of console software and instrumentation software. You install and
run console software on the system from which you are going to monitor and
control other servers referred to as managed servers. A managed server is an
®
Intel
Architecture (IA) platform with ISC Platform Instrumentation software
installed and running. The system running the console software is sometimes
referred to as the client workstation or client.
Client Workstation
The client workstation runs console software. The console software is installed
during ISC installation. Table 1 lists the system configurations on which the ISC
installation process installs console software and also lists the client workstation’s
configuration requirements and restrictions:
